Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions, salt and pepper and cook until softened, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Add the smashed garlic cloves (they’ll get blended later) and carrots to the pot and cook 8 minutes more, stirring occasionally. 2. Stir in the ginger, apple cider vinegar, and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes. 3. Let cool slightly and transfer to a blender. Blend until smooth. If your soup is too thick, add a little water. If you would like your soup a little sweeter, add the maple syrup. 4. Serve with a drizzle of coconut milk, if desired. - [ Recipe from Love & Lemons ](https://www.loveandlemons.com/carrot-ginger-soup/) - [ Nutrition ](/about/blog?category=31) ## Media Inquiry Daniel McEvily, Assistant Vice President of Marketing and Communications [1-667-354-0722](tel:1-667-354-0722) Aaron Cahall, Communications Manager [1-667-354-0725](tel:1-667-354-0725)
