Carrot Soup Slow Cooker Ingredients
Here are the ingredients you will need to make this slow cooker carrot ginger soup:
- Carrots: peel and cut large carrots or use baby carrots to save on prep time.
- Onion: I suggest using white, yellow, or sweet varieties.
- Celery
- Fresh Garlic: use fresh minced garlic or canned minced garlic based on preference.
- Ground Corriander: coriander is a very traditional spice used in Indian foods such as curries, soups, or stews.
- Fresh Ginger Root: be sure to peel and finely grate your fresh roots for the best flavor and that it infuses into your soup.
- Fresh Tumeric Root: again, be sure to peel and finely grate your fresh turmeric root.
- Fresh Squeezed Lemon: a freshly squeezed lemon will yield approximately 2 tablespoons. Use half of a lemon to get 1 tablespoon for this recipe.
- Canned Coconut Milk: coconut milk adds a creamy texture to the soup, and the flavor complements the fresh spices and roots in this recipe. It is also used in many Indian dishes, such as curry, soups, or stews.
- Plain Greek Yogurt (or a plant based substitute): adds brightness, creaminess, and tang. The yogurt can be omitted, but add in lemon or lime juice to taste for tang as a substitute - or use a vegan plant-based substitute.
- Vegetable Broth
- Kosher Salt
- Ground Black Pepper
- Optional: garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.

Garnish your soup with fresh cilantro or chives, and toasted nuts. I used roasted and salted pepitas.
Drizzle extra coconut milk or top with a dollop of sour cream.
Add a small side salad to pair with your creamy carrot ginger soup. Use ginger vinegarette for a complimentary flavor.

Carrot Soup Slow Cooker Tips
Coax even more flavor from this soup by sauteeing the vegetables in 2 tablespoons of olive oil or butter until golden.
If your soup is too thick, add additional coconut milk, Greek yogurt, or vegetable broth to thin it so it is easier to blend to your desired consistency.
You can use a food processor or regular blender if you do not have a handheld immersion blender. Blend in batches if needed. Be careful it's hot! Blend until your desired consistency, and enjoy!
