How to Make Carrot Ginger Soup (Easy Vegan Recipe)

This detox carrot ginger soup is a true digestive superstar — plus it’s vegan and comes together in less than 45 minutes.

There’s something about soup that is so comforting, especially one that you’re able to make at home yourself. This simple recipe from Sakara packs in so much flavor with a blend of ginger and turmeric. These ingredients have added benefits of anti-inflammation and help aid digestion. When you feel like having a cozy meal this winter, you can whip this up in under 45 minutes and feel so satisfied. Most of the time is spent simmering the carrots in a pot, so after your prep work, it’s not too involved.  

After everything softens in the pot, you’ll throw it into a blender or you can use an immersion blender if you have one. A splash of apple cider vinegar at the end makes this an easily digestible meal. This addition means extra probiotics to support the balance of your gut microbiome. The next time you’re feeling bloated, stiff, or run-down, turn to this nourishing soup to help you reset. Keep reading for the full ingredient list and directions.
