Carrot Ginger Soup with Vitamix

Carrot Ginger Soup

If you like carrots, you'll love this soup.  It's nice and creamy thanks to the almonds. It's also a healthy and quick soup you can make in your Vitamix.  I took the original recipe and adjusted it for the Vitamix.  I hope you enjoy it!

Carrots are extremely healthy.  They help your vision, clear your skin, prevent cancer, prevent heart disease, and slows down the aging of cells.

Besides helping with morning sickness and motion sickness, ginger is known to help prevent a number of cancers, relief migraines, and help treat and prevent colds and flus.

Vitamix Carrot Ginger Soup

  • 1 1/2 lbs. carrots
  • 1/2 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 Tbsp. grated fresh ginger or 1 tsp. ground ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2-4 cups vegetable broth (if you like it thin use more, thick use less)
  • 3-4 Tbsp. slivered almonds
  • Half the juice of a lemon

  1. Put the vegetable broth in the Vitamix. Scrub and chop carrots, put in Vitamix. Add the onions, garlic, almonds, and ginger.
  2. If your Vitamix has a soup setting, set to soup and start.  If not, start on 1 and go up to 10 and blend for about 5 minutes or until hot.
  3. Serve immediately or save and heat up later.
