EASY ROASTED CARROT GINGER SOUP WITH GREEK YOGURT AND CROUTONS



Easy Roasted Carrot Ginger Soup With Greek Yogurt and Croutons image

I make variations of this soup whenever I don't feel like doing a whole lot of work. It's warm and satisfying on a cold day, and is pretty good for you, too! It's one of those recipes that's very easy to play around with - roast whatever extra veggies you have around the house, make up new garnishes... Another version I enjoy is using shrimp stock and putting a few sauteed shrimp in each bowl. The recipe could easily be doubled for a larger group of people, but I find that these measurements work very well for a dinner for 2. For a vegan version, simply substitute tofu sour cream for the greek yogurt.

Time 55m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 lb carrot, diced
1 red pepper, diced
4 garlic cloves, halved
2 shallots, sliced thick
4 tablespoons olive oil
coarse salt, to taste
fresh cracked pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
1 1/2 cups vegetable stock (or whatever stock you like, sometimes I'll use shrimp stock and garnish the soup with sauteed shrimp)
1 dash soy sauce
1 dash hot sauce (optional, I like Louisiana Hot Sauce or Aardvark sauce)
1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or tofu sour cream, for vegans)
1 cup crouton (can be store-bought, or make your own)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Dice the pepper and the carrots and halve the garlic cloves. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Roast the veggies for 40 minutes, or until they start to get brown and caramelize. Stir once or twice during roasting.
  • Put grated ginger, stock, and a glug or two of soy sauce into the food processor. Add some hot sauce if you like it spicy.
  • Put all the roasted veggies into the food processor and puree until smooth.
  • At this point the soup will have cooled down a bit, so you can either pop it in the microwave or put it in a pot on the stove for a few minutes to warm it up.
  • Serve with a dollop of greek yogurt on top and lots of crunchy croutons!

Time 1h10m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • Remove the ends of the carrots and place in a saucepan and cover with water, bring water to boil and simmer for about an hour
  • Strain water from carrots into a large mixing bowl or measuring jug, add the stock cube and stir until disolved. Then add the coriander.
  • Cut up and then mash carrots (you can also use a handblender) into a pulp either in the saucepan or a mixing bowl, gradually add the stock until it is at a consistency you want.
  • Season to taste. Add a dash of milk to make it more creamy.
  • I usually serve with chunky bread and butter. This definately isn't a smooth soup but is great for lunch on a wintery day. It can get a bit messy preparing but its well worth it.
