Ingredients
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped
½ teaspoon sea salt
3 garlic cloves, smashed
1 pound carrots, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
3 cups vegetable broth
Freshly ground black pepper
Coconut milk for garnish, optional
1 teaspoon maple syrup, optional
Instructions
Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions, salt and pepper and cook until softened, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes.
Add the smashed garlic cloves and carrots to the pot and cook 8 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the ginger, apple cider vinegar, and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
Let cool slightly and transfer to a blender. Blend until smooth. If your soup is too thick, add a little water. If you would like your soup a little sweeter, add maple syrup.
Serve with a drizzle of coconut milk, if desired.
