This soup was awesome. Smooth and creamy; warm and filling; easy to make; and easy on the budget. I did not have the yogurt to make the topping, so I just poot a spoon of lite sour cream on top of the soup in my bowl and stirred it in. Thanks Guy for a new add to my recipe book.

I changed the whipping cream to 1 cup of fat free half and half and skipped the sour cream, it came out great and if anyone is following ww, it became only 3 pts. a serving. Add the sour cream back for still only 4 pts.

I made this soup for our lenten service last night and everyone loved it! I made croutons from Ciabatta rolls and served it with a dollop of sour cream. Everyone wanted the recipe. Yum!!!

I've only had ginger carrot soup one other time, at a restaurant. This soup turned out better than that. I loved it! I only used one large onion, added a bit extra ginger (definitely use the fresh, grate it yourself, only used 5 1/2 cups chicken broth and I used an immersion blender instead. I also used a bread bowl and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I have made this soup twice and love it. Consider adding sweet flavors - a little sugar and cinnamon really complement the soup well. It is a little bit of a hassle, transferring it to the blender, but it is worth the effort a couple of times a year.

I love this soup- I had to tweak the ingredients alittle: ground ginger instead of fresh (and used half as much- I also don't add the milk until I am ready to eat- that way, I keep it for a few days in the fridge.
If you use chicken broth (or bouillon cubes you will NOT need more salt. I use two bouillon cubes for 6 cups water and that is plenty salty. Bon appetit!

If you can get my husband to eat a carrot, you've got a good recipe. He loved this soup. Loved the texture and loved the taste. He said it tasted quite gourmet !! We actually left out the salt because with the addition of the chicken broth the flavor was right on target without it. Instead of finishing the soup off in a standard blender, I used a hand-held Quick Prep blender and pureed it right in the pan. Delicious, quick and easy soup. Thanks for the recipe.

What a tasty soup! My children are 6 and 4 and enjoyed the soup! "Mom, I want more!" you gotta love it! : My husband and I are great fans as well! With few ingredients and you can spice it up more if you like. We added fresh grated ginger to our bowl to give that kick we love so much.

This recipe was so easy and straightforward, I made it for lunch on a weekday. I completely spaced out and didn't add the heavy cream, but it definitely didn't need it! Using an immersion blender worked amazingly well.

To those who think this soup is bland, use special care when selecting your ingredients! Most carrots are pretty bland, but if you buy organic farm-fresh carrots in season (not baby carrots, mind you, and an heirloom variety like Nantes is even better, you will be blown away by the flavor! Yum.
