# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Vegetables

01 - 600 g carrots, peeled and sliced
02 - 1 large onion, chopped
03 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 2 celery stalks, chopped
05 - 1 medium potato, peeled and diced

→ Base and Seasoning

06 - 1 L vegetable broth
07 - 2 tbsp olive oil
08 - 1/2 tsp ground cumin
09 - 1/2 tsp ground ginger
10 - 1/4 tsp ground coriander
11 - Salt, to taste
12 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

→ Garnish (optional)

13 - Fresh herbs, finely chopped (parsley or chives)
14 - Sour cream or thick yogurt (for serving)
15 - Croutons

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
02 - Incorporate the sliced carrots, diced potato, and chopped celery into the pot. Stir to distribute the aromatics and sweat the vegetables for 3–4 minutes.
03 - Pour in the vegetable broth. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20–25 minutes, or until the carrots are fork-tender.
04 - Using an immersion blender, puree the soup directly in the pot until silky and smooth. If using a regular blender, blend in batches with the lid vented, then return soup to the pot.
05 - Stir in the ground cumin, ground ginger, and ground coriander. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to harmonize flavors.
06 - Ladle hot soup into bowls. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs, a dollop of sour cream or yogurt, and croutons if desired.

# Extra Tips and Tricks:

01 - For an ultra-creamy texture, ensure the potatoes are fully cooked before blending.
02 - The soup base can be prepared ahead and reheated, enhancing its flavor.
