Carrot Ginger Soup Made In 30 Minutes

I love how simply, quickly, and easily this soup comes together. If you own an Instant Pot (aff link), you can prep everything in 10 minutes, and the soup will be finished cooking in 20 more minutes.

You can also make it on the stovetop if that's your preference. I have provided those instructions below on the recipe card.

You don't need much to have this soup come together. The handful of fresh ingredients used to make it really shine on their own.

The minced fresh ginger is a game-changer, and I don't recommend skimping out on it. I also highly recommend using full-fat coconut milk to get a really lovely and creamy texture as a result.

You can top off the soup with your favorite grilled protein to make it a more comprehensive meal. Alternatively, eat a bigger serving ;) and it should fill you up.

This soup is:

Made in 30 minutes
Perfect for meal planning and prep
Delicious topped off with grilled protein (try it with my blackened shrimp!)
Gluten-free and Dairy-free
Paleo
Low Carb
Whole30 compliant!

Let's chat clean up though!

Removing Clothing Stains From Carrot Ginger Soup

Although this soup is quite delicious and beautiful, carrots are vibrant and known to stain clothing if you aren't careful with the way you treat said stains.

I've been relying on Biokleen Bac-Out Odor & Stain Remover to help me with all of my messy laundry needs. Sophie is quite a messy eater and within a minute of trying this soup, there were spots and spills all over her light-colored dress.

When she was all done eating, I simply spritzed said spots with the Bac-Out Odor & Stain Remover, let it sit for a few minutes, and threw it into my regular laundry cycle.

Their products are enzyme-based. It has nothing synthetic and no chemicals or fragrances yet it’s EFFECTIVE. I love using plant and mineral-based cleaning products that actually work especially during my pregnancy. This is a non-negotiable for me.

What you will NOT find in Biokleen products:

No phosphates
No chlorine
No ammonia
No petroleum solvents
No alcohol, butyl, or glycol
No artificial colors or fragrance

How To Make Carrot Ginger Soup

Turn on your Instant Pot (aff link) and press the “Sauté” button. Let it heat up for 1 minute and add oil. Let that heat for another minute.

Add chopped onions and sauté, stirring frequently for about 5-6 minutes until softened.

Add garlic and ginger, and stir frequently for 2 more minutes until very fragrant. Turn off the Instant Pot by pressing “keep warm/cancel.”

Add carrots, broth, coconut milk, and spices. Give everything a very nice stir until well combined.

Place the lid on the Instant Pot, make sure the vent is turned to “Sealed” and cook on “Manual” and “High Pressure” for 10 minutes.

Very carefully move the valve to the “Vent” setting and let it release all pressure that has built up. This will take a few minutes.

Remove the lid and use an immersion blender (aff link) to carefully blend (or transfer to the pitcher of a high-speed blender pitcher.)

Blend for about 1 minute until smooth and creamy throughout.

Expert Tips & Tricks

Add a pinch of red pepper flakes when serving for some heat if that's your thing.
Fresh herbs like Italian parsley taste really delicious as a topping on this soup.
Use an immersion blender (aff link) for less mess and easier cleanup.
Be sure to use bone broth if you aren't keeping the recipe vegan... it's very nourishing and full of so many nutrients and minerals.
Omit the grilled protein and use vegetable broth to make this soup completely vegan.
