This was really delicious and it cleared up my sinuses in a few minutes. I initially grabbed the recipe to get rid of a cold since ginger, garlic and citrus seem to do that trick. I accidentally added the OJ before boiling for 20 but it was still great. Added plain greek yogurt to the mix for some creaminess and substituted the bay leaf for thyme because that is what we had. This, like most soups I make, tasted better after turning off the burner and letting it sit for about 15 minutes. Very good and different.

Made without the orange and it was still delish. You need to really like the ginger flavor to enjoy this soup.

This soup is amazing and so easy. I have to double it every time. One is not enough.

Good to the last drop. I love carrot ginger soup. I could not find my go to recipe since I moved. I found this one with great reviews.
I check out the other reviewer's comments and doctor the recipe from there. I not only used the piece of fresh ginger but added one heaping tablespoon of freshly grated ginger. I used a cup of white wine to deglaze the pan before adding my organic chicken stock. I also added about a tablespoon of fresh minced thyme and tarragon to the soup. I seasoned with sea salt and fresh ground white pepper. Yum. Makes me feel healthier just eating it.

Had first-rate carrots, onions and garlic from out CSA but this soup was initially a real disappointment. While the flavor is good, it lacked any depth. I added a pinch of cayenne, about 1/2 teaspoon of tangerine balsamic vinegar and about 1//2 teaspoon of lime infused olive oil. That perked it up a bit. I used an immersion blender rather than a food processor. If you like pureed soups it is an excellent and inexpensive tool that pays for itself in cleanup time. I have other recipes that are better but I liked the idea of the orange so I may just add an orange to my other carrot-ginger soup recipe.

Made this soup for dinner last night, and it was just wonderful. Flavors were potent and robust. The ginger adds that extra pop. I actually cut up half of a granny smith apple and sauteed that with the onion and ginger. Extra vitamin C. This soup is so good for you, and is delicious to boot. That dollop of sour cream at the end gives it wonderful creaminess. Highly recommend this recipe.

This a terrific basic recipe that you can easily change-up to suit your own taste. If you have a food processor, it takes only a few minutes to get this soup going. I used just 2 cloves of garlic and added about a cup of buttermilk after I pureed the soup--delicious. I imagine you could use just about any fresh herb in addition to or in place of the cilantro. I'm looking forward to trying this recipe with dill next time and maybe will garnish it with some salad shrimp. Yummy!

I have tried numerous recipes for carrot soup and this one is by far the best. And it was super easy. Looking forward to making it again!

BUT...don't forget to fish out the bay leaf before blending the soup!
