How To Make The Dairy-Free Carrot Soup Creamy
So there are a few ways that you can make carrot soup creamy. First, is of course using a lot of dairy and creamer products which is what non-vegan carrot soups popularly use.
For other vegan carrot soup recipes, coconut milk or coconut cream are employed. I am not a fan of cooking with coconut milk and try to avoid it as often as I can.
If you are a fan, you can feel free to use whatever kind you like! But I am going to show you how to get a creamy vegan carrot ginger soup without using any canned coconut milk.
My secret weapon is using any non-dairy milk and a little bit of flour! Flour is a wonderful thickening agent for soups and I use it in many recipes including my Vegan Clam Chowder Soup!
I do like using thicker non-dairy milk such as almond/cashew/flax/oat milk instead of thinner non-dairy milk such as rice milk.
Then, you just sprinkle the flour over the veggies and make sure to coat them. Then you deglaze the pan with your water and milk combination and you are done!
After you puree the dairy-free ginger carrot soup, you may want to make the soup even thicker. To do this, simply stir in 1 tsp of flour at a time until the soup reaches its desired consistency.
If there is one thing I want you to learn from this recipe, it is how to easily thicken soups using nothing more than non-dairy milk of your choice and a little bit of flour [can be gluten-free too!]
How To Make Vegan Carrot Soup
Making creamy carrot soup vegan is so darn easy and only takes about 20 minutes!
I start you off with a base recipe, but you can feel free to change it up with whatever you want! Add more spicy kick, take out the ginger, and play with it to your heart’s content!
My trick to making soups quickly is to parboil the potatoes which means to boil them in another pot until just soft before combining them with the vegan cream of carrot soup.
My next trick is to saute the veggies in the bottom of the pot until soft! Then you combine with your broth/water/non-dairy milk and you are done in a flash!
First, we want to heat our onions, chopped carrots, and ginger and saute until the carrots are soft. You can usually take your spatula and try to cut one in half.
This should only take a few minutes.
Meanwhile, chop your potato and have it parboiling in another pot until it is just done.
Drain the chopped potato and combine it with the carrots, ginger, and onion mixture.
Now it is time to flavor your vegan carrot ginger soup! I add rosemary and thyme but you can add whatever spices you have on hand and love. And of course, salt and pepper!
Next, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of flour over the veggies and stir to combine.
Use your 3 cups of water or vegetable stock and 1/4 cup of non-dairy milk to deglaze the pan.
Stir until combined and let simmer for about 5-10 minutes.
With an immersion blender or food processor, blend the vegan carrot soup without cream until it is smooth.
This is a pretty fast process since you have already cooked all of the veggies so it is simple and easy to blend up.
Serve immediately from the blender or return to your pot to reheat and serve that way.
I like to serve my easy carrot soup with a little fresh parsley and some sort of nut such as pine nuts or pumpkin seeds for a little crunch!

How To Store The Vegan Carrot Ginger Soup
Storing the vegan carrot ginger soup is super easy! Just wait for it to cool and then store it in an air-tight container in the fridge.
It does make enough for only 2 large bowls so there may or may not be any left over at all!
To reheat, simply add the remaining soup to a saucepan and stir on low until warm throughout.
Do not add the mix-ins with the nuts and seeds until you are ready to serve so that when you store it and reheat it it doesn’t make the soup taste weird.
