As summer gives way to autumn, this is the soup we reach for first. Silky smooth, gently spiced with fresh ginger, and made with the sweetest carrots of the British season — it's warming, nourishing, and ready in under 40 minutes. A proper bowl of comfort.

Ingredients

• 700g Washed Carrots, peeled and roughly chopped
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 30g fresh ginger, peeled and grated (about a thumb-sized piece)
• 1 litre vegetable stock
• 1 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil
• 400ml coconut milk (optional, for a creamier version)
• Juice of 1 orange
• Sea salt and black pepper
• To serve: a swirl of cream or coconut yoghurt, toasted seeds, fresh coriander

Method

1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook gently for 5–6 minutes until softened.
2. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for a further 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
3. Add the carrots and stir to coat in the aromatics. Pour over the stock, bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer.
4. Cook for 20–25 minutes until the carrots are completely tender.
5. Add the orange juice (and coconut milk if using), then blend until completely smooth using a stick blender or in batches in a blender.
6. Season generously with salt and pepper. Reheat gently if needed.
7. Serve with a swirl of cream or coconut yoghurt, a scatter of toasted seeds, and fresh coriander.

Tips

• For extra depth, roast the carrots at 200°C for 20 minutes before adding to the soup.
• This soup freezes beautifully — make a double batch and freeze in portions for quick weekday lunches.
• A Bulk Case of Carrots is ideal if you plan to make large batches for the freezer.

Nutritional Notes

Carrots are one of the richest plant sources of beta-carotene, which the body converts to Vitamin A — essential for immune health and vision. Combined with ginger’s anti-inflammatory properties and the Vitamin C in the orange juice, this is a genuinely immunity-boosting bowl. Our organic washed carrots are grown without synthetic pesticides, so every spoonful is as clean as it is delicious.
