2. Carrot Soup with Cream
Bring the basic soup to the boil, slowly add a cup of cream to the boiling liquid and bring to the boil. Season the soup with salt, pepper, nutmeg and a little cayenne pepper. Add a cold piece of butter and mix until fluffy with a hand blender.3. Carrot Soup with Coconut Milk
Shake a can of coconut milk well before opening. Slowly pour the coconut milk into the boiling soup and bring to the boil. Flavour the soup with salt, pepper, nutmeg and a little cayenne pepper, refine the soup with orange juice. Orange juice gives the soup an exciting aroma and an interesting acidity.

4. Carrot Soup with Ginger
Both the basic soup and the carrot soup with cream or coconut milk taste excellent with ginger. Cut two slices of ginger into small pieces and place the ginger in the soup immediately after the quenching. The ginger now has enough time to develop its flavour and the aroma can develop wonderfully.5. Carrot Soup with Curry … and Curcuma
For the carrot soup with curry I recommend the variant with coconut milk and ginger. These ingredients fit together great and harmonize perfectly. Add a little turmeric to the carrot soup. The turmeric is extremely healthy and supports digestion.6. Recipe for Carrot Soup

Instruction
Carrot Soup Basic Recipe
Place a large high pot on the stove, butter or vegetable oil in the pot.
Prepare the carrots: Wash, peel and chop the carrots and put them in the pot. I usually halve the carrots once lengthwise and cut thin slices, small carrot slices cook faster, then the soup is ready.
Peel and finely dice the onions or shallots and place in the pot. Cut the garlic finely into slices and add to the mixture. Optionally cut a potato into small pieces and add to the vegetables. Note on garlic: I never press garlic because it makes the garlic bitter and pungent in taste.
Sweat the vegetables in the pot for about 10 minutes until colourless.
Deglaze with dry white wine and fill up with water. The vegetables should be well covered with liquid. Season with vegetable stock, salt, pepper, nutmeg and cayenne pepper. Bring the soup to the boil and prepare the respective variant.
Let the soup simmer for 25 minutes, then mix with a hand blender. Season with salt, pepper and orange juice.
Carrot Soup with Coconut Milk
Bring the soup to the boil, pour the coconut milk into the boiling soup, season with orange juice, mix and arrange the soup, decorate with goji berries and mint.
Carrot Soup with Cream
Bring the soup to the boil, slowly pour the cream into the soup, season to taste, mix and arrange the soup, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and serve (optional thyme, lovage, cress).
Carrot Soup with Ginger
Ginger goes well with all varieties of this soup; it harmonises best with coconut milk, curry and turmeric. Generally add the ginger cut into small pieces after the quenching so that it can develop the taste in the soup.
Carrot Soup with Curry
Season basic soup with curry, turmeric and honey or agave syrup. Refine as desired with cream or coconut milk. Before serving, mix the soup vigorously until foamy and pour into soup plates or cups. You can decorate and serve this soup with pomegranate seeds, mint or parsley or with coriander.
