Notes
- To make this recipe on the stove top, in a large Dutch oven or sauce pot over medium-low heat, sauté the onions until translucent. Stirring frequently for about 10 minutes. Next add the garlic, ginger and thyme. Cook for about 30 seconds. Add the carrots and about 2 cups of the stock. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low then cover the pot and let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until the carrots are completely cooked through. Use an immersion blender or a blender (in batches) to puree the soup until smooth. Finally add the remaining 3 cups of stock and cook until the soup is completely heated through, about 10 minutes or so.
- No need to worry about how you chop the ingredients as they all get pureed.
