Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 to 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1-inch ginger root, grated or finely chopped
- 1 chile pepper, seeded and chopped
- 2 pounds carrots, peeled and sliced or chopped
- 1/4 cup tamari sauce
- 1 quart chicken stock-in-a-box
- 1 cup water
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Toasted sesame oil, for garnish
- 4 large eggs, fried, optional
- Finely chopped chives or scallions, for garnish
- Toasted sesame rolls, for dunking
Directions
Heat the extra-virgin olive oil in large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onions, garlic, ginger and chile pepper and sweat them out a few minutes. Stir in the carrots and tamari sauce, then cover the pot and cook for 7 to 8 minutes. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer the soup until the carrots are tender. Puree as smooth or chunky as you like with hand blender or in a processor, in batches. Season the soup with salt and pepper, to taste. Cool completely and store in the refrigerator for a make-ahead meal.
Reheat, in a covered pot, over medium heat and serve in shallow bowls with a fried egg on top, cooked to your liking. Garnish each serving with chives or scallions and a drizzle of toasted sesame oil on top. Pass the toasted sesame rolls at the table, for dunking.

Excellent soup, although I did not put the egg on top. This makes a nice light soup with lots of unique flavor. I used ponzu instead of tamari and only about 2 T. Becareful with that and chicken broth, salt is already pretty high, so taste before adding any extra salt. Will definitely be making it again.

This soup was very delicious! I did leave the pepper seeds in,w hich gave it an after-kick. Instead of olive oil, I used ginger oil. I will def. be making this again, though next time I will try it without the pepper seeds.
