Warming Up from the Inside Out with Creamy Carrot Ginger Soup

September 19, 2015 By Sheri

Fall recipes are the ones I enjoy making the most. They can often be made using fresh local vegetables and it’s not too hot to be standing over the stove. It is also the time of year that we get to make some of the family recipes that I have been enjoying for my entire life. I like to find new recipes to add to that collection, and Carnation® Evaporated Milk has some great recipes on their website.

Like many Canadians, I have been baking with Carnation Evaporated Milk for many years. My favourite dessert, pumpkin pie, is always made with Carnation Evaporated Milk, and many of the dessert squares that we share during the holidays also contain it. Carnation Evaporated Milk isn’t just for desserts though, it can also be used for cooking every day meals like this Creamy Carrot Ginger Soup.

So simple to make and yet so delicious. There’s nothing better than welcoming family or friends in from the cold with a steaming bowl of this creamy, comforting soup.
Course Soup
Servings 5 cups
Author Carnation.ca

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp [30mL] Crisco® Vegetable or Canola Oil
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 2 tbsp [30mL] chopped fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic finely chopped
  • 4 cups [1L] peeled sliced carrots (about 1 ½ lb/750g)

  • ¼ tsp [1mL] pepper
  • ¾ cup [175mL] Carnation® Regular 2% or Fat Free Evaporated Milk

  • Preparation

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, ginger and garlic. Saute until tender and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add carrots. Stir to combine well. Add chicken stock. Cover and simmer until carrots are tender, about 30 minutes.
  3. Puree soup using a hand held immersion blender, blender or food processor.
  4. Return to saucepan. Stir in Carnation Evaporated Milk.
  5. Cook over low heat 5 minutes.
  6. Taste and adjust salt and pepper to taste.

I chose to use the regular Carnation Evaporated Milk in my soup. It is very simple to use, just open the can and pour! It added a rich and creamy texture to the soup, and you can find the same rich and creamy flavour with the 2% and the Fat Free Evaporated Milk.

    I love the way you pureed the soup and then added the Carnation soup. I have already found out that Carnation is excellent when used in fish and clam chowders instead of the regular milk. It does make a creamier chowder. I have also found canned milk really excellent in boxed puddings that have to be cooked with milk on the stove. The canned milk makes for a creamier product. I hadn’t thought of using it in vegetable soup although I use canned milk in my homemade boiled salad dressing and it is delicious.

    I previously made a comment on this delicious looking Creamy -carrot -ginger- soup so I will say that i think those are your own croutons on the plate beside the soup. I have made my own croutons several times and I am amazed that I don’t make my own oftener. They are so easy to make and so tasty-very hard to resist.

    This is a new one for me to try but t looks so sublime that I will be making it.I love that ginger is in it to spice it up a bit.Thanks for this divine recipe that will be made a lot this winter if its as cold as they say its going to be.

  23. Susan Stirling says

    I enjoy most creamy soups. I learned, by experimenting, that canned evaporated soup makes any dish creamier and more appetizing. I first discovered this when I used canned milk, instead of regular, in my homemade clam chowder. I was so delighted that I have used canned milk ever since.
