Ingredients
Here are notes about the ingredients needed to make this healthy soup. All of these ingredients can be found at your local grocery store or an online retailer.
Avocado oil: I recommend Chosen Foods 100% Pure Avocado Oil.
Onion: Use a sweet onion or shallots
Fennel: Use one large or two small heads.
Carrots
Squash: You can use either fresh or frozen butternut squash. I prefer to use the frozen, already chopped variety!
Garlic: Use minced fresh garlic cloves.
Ginger: Grated fresh ginger will give you the best flavor.
Turmeric powder
Salt & black pepper
Bone broth: Any bone broth variety will work.
Coconut milk: Use a can of full fat coconut milk for the best flavor and texture.
Step-By-Step Instructions
Here is how to make this great soup.
Step 1: In a large dutch oven or saucepan, heat the avocado oil until hot.
Step 2: Add the fennel, onions, carrot, and butternut squash (if using fresh). Sauté for 5-7 minutes or until the veggies begin to soften.
Step 3: Add the garlic, ginger, turmeric, sea salt, and pepper. Sauté for a few more minutes.
Step 4: Add the bone broth and butternut squash (if using frozen). Bring the mixture to a boil, cover, reduce the heat to low and allow it to simmer for 20 minutes.
Step 5: Once the soup is cooked, use an immersion blender and blend until smooth.
Step 6: Taste, adjust any seasonings if needed and serve.
Expert Tip
Taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed.
If you are using fresh butternut squash, add it when you add the carrots. If using frozen, add it when you add the broth.
Reserve a bit of the coconut milk to drizzle on the top for serving for an elegant look!
Variations
Use olive oil in place of the avocado oil, if desired.
You can use vegetable broth in place of the bone broth.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this healthy carrot soup recipe with a nice salad and a piece of your favorite bread.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a regular blender instead of an immersion blender?
Yes, but be very careful! To do this, transfer half of the soup into the blender. Place the cover on the blender, but remove the center of the cover, open the pour spout to allow steam to escape or leave the top ajar. Place a clean kitchen towel over the opening before blending. Repeat with the remaining soup.
What can I garnish the soup with?
Feel free to garnish the soup with a drizzle of coconut milk. Sprinkle some fennel fronds on top or your favorite fresh herb. A little sprinkle of pumpkin seeds is a great touch too!
What can I do with leftovers?
Store completely cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat on the stove or in the microwave until heated through. Freeze the cooled soup in airtight containers for up to 3 months in the freezer. Thaw in the refrigerator and heat on the stove or in the microwave until heated through.
