HOW TO PREPARE THIS VEGAN CREAMY CARROT SOUP
Read the recipe card below for detailed ingredients, measurements, steps, and notes.
This easy recipe only requires ten ingredients and one pot to prepare. And to obtain that smooth texture, you’ll need a blender. I prefer immersion blenders for convenience; however, a countertop one works perfectly, too, and even better in terms of creaminess results.
For the preparation, you’ll need:
- Carrots: the star of this recipe. Peel them and slice them into ½ pieces.
- Onion, celery, and garlic: these veggies will add a lot of extra flavors to this soup.
- Vegetable Broth: (Low sodium) for sautéing, cooking, and adding more flavor. We are going to combine it with water also.
- Spices and seasoning: to keep it simple here, we’ll add ginger, salt, and pepper. But, please, feel free to add extras if you like soups spicier or sweeter, etc. Cumin or cinnamon, for example, works well with this soup.
- Light coconut milk: for helping with the creaminess and a touch of sweetness. I prefer the light or lite versions for low-fat options and keeping the recipe lighter.
To prepare this Vegan Creamy Carrot Soup, first, you have to heat ¼ cup of vegetable broth in a large soup pot. Then sauté the onion, celery, and garlic.
Add the carrots and sauté for 5 minutes. Then add the rest of the vegetable broth and the water, stir and bring to a boil, and reduce the heat to keep a gentle simmer for 20 minutes.
When the carrots are tender, mix the preparation with a blender until smooth. Add the coconut milk, stir, and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Serve with your favorite toppings.

Notes
- For obtaining that smooth texture, you’ll need a blender. I prefer immersion blenders for convenience; however, a countertop one works perfectly too, and even better in terms of creaminess results.
- If you have some leftovers, keep them in the refrigerator, covered, for up to three or four days.
