Author Notes

Velvety smooth and with a hint of heat, this beautiful bright-yellow soup is delicious, healthy, and super easy to make! Carrots are a rich source of vitamin A and ginger, cinnamon and peppercorns are good for circulation and digestion.
There is a variation to this soup which I like a lot. Substitute some of the carrots with sweet potatoes and beets. Ratio of 40% carrots, 40% sweet potatoes, and 20% beets works well, but don’t be too concerned about the math and experiment according to your own tastes. —Larisa Litvin

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons Ghee (or Coconut Oil for a vegan version)
  • 2 cups Onion, chopped

  5. Return the soup to the saucepan and, if needed, reheat it over medium heat until hot.
