Equipment

  • Kitchen Blender - Essential for pureeing ingredients such as carrots and ginger to create a smooth soup base.

  • Soup Pot - A large pot ideal for cooking the soup at low heat, perfect for simmering carrots and ginger in water or vegetable broth.

  • Immersion Blender - Useful for pureeing soup directly in the pot without transferring to a blender, especially if you prefer minimal cleanup.

  • Large Wooden Spoon - For stirring and mixing ingredients in the pot during cooking.

  • Glass Storage Jars with Lids - Great for storing and preserving the prepared soup, ensuring it stays fresh for longer periods.

  • Soup Bowls - Ideal for serving the finished organic carrot and ginger soup, providing a warm and comforting dining experience.

  • Non-Stick Baking Sheet (not specifically used for soup making) - Useful if you plan to bake or roast any of the vegetables as part of your recipe preparation.

  • Chef's Knife - For prepping ingredients like chopping vegetables or ginger before cooking.

  • Citrus Press (not directly used in making the soup) - Handy for adding freshly squeezed citrus if desired, such as incorporating ginger juice into the recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 cup thinly sliced leeks (white part only)

  • 1/2 large white onion, diced (about 1 cup)

  • 2 1/2 pounds organic carrots, chopped

  • 2 cups vegetable stock

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh lemongrass (or 2 teaspoons dried, tied in a piece of cheesecloth)

  • 3 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger

  • 1 cup fresh carrot juice

  • 1/2 cup light sour cream, plus 4 tsp for garnish

Instruction 1

Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed large stockpot on high heat until hot. Cook leeks and onion 2 to 3 minutes. Add carrots and 2 tbsp water. Cook, covered, 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add stock, lemongrass and 1 1/2 teaspoons ginger. Simmer about 30 minutes. Let mixture cool for 10 minutes, then pour into a food processor and purée. Add carrot juice and strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Discard pulp. (If not serving immediately, cool and refrigerate liquid.) Add sour cream and remaining 2 teaspoons ginger to strained liquid. Stir until completely incorporated. Heat 3 or 4 minutes over medium-low heat or serve cold. Season with pepper. Divide among 4 bowls. Garnish with chives and 1 tsp each sour cream.
