CARROT GINGER SOUP

Carrot Ginger Soup image

This light, flavorful carrot ginger soup is vegan! It's made with pantry staples and comes together in a hurry, yet always seems to impress. Fresh ginger makes a big difference-and what isn't used can be wrapped tightly and tossed in the freezer to use later. -Jenna Olson, Manchester, Missouri

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 scallions, sliced (white and green parts separated)
2 tablespoons chopped peeled fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, smashed
5 carrots, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 14-ounce can light coconut milk
1 15-ounce can cannellini beans, undrained
1/2 acorn squash, seeded and chopped into 3/4-inch pieces
3 cups roughly chopped broccoli florets and tender stems (about 1 head)
2 slices crusty bread, cut into 1-inch pieces, plus more bread for serving

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large wide pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the scallion whites, ginger and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the carrots and season generously with salt and pepper. Add the coconut milk, beans with their liquid and 3 cups water. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Uncover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are very tender, 18 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, toss the squash, broccoli and bread with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast, stirring, until the vegetables are tender and browned and the bread is toasted, about 15 minutes.
Puree the soup with an immersion blender (or transfer to a regular blender in batches and puree); season with salt and pepper. Divide the soup among bowls. Drizzle with olive oil and top with the vegetable-crouton mixture and scallion greens. Serve with bread.
