This vibrant lemongrass, ginger and carrot soup is a wonderful example of how a few high-quality ingredients can create a deeply restorative meal. The natural sweetness of the carrots balances beautifully with the citrusy notes of lemongrass and the gentle heat of fresh ginger. Using chicken bone broth provides a rich, savoury base that makes this dairy-free soup feel incredibly indulgent while remaining light and nutritious.
Ideal for a quick weekday lunch or a cleansing starter, this versatile dish is a great addition to a healthy eating plan. The recipe is naturally gluten-free and can be made suitable for vegetarians by simply swapping the bone broth for a high-quality vegetable stock. Serve it piping hot with a squeeze of lime for an extra zingy finish.

Ingredients for Lemongrass-Ginger-Carrot Soup
2 tablespoons ghee or olive oil
350ml diced onion
675g thinly sliced carrots
2 tablespoons peeled and minced fresh ginger
One 2-inch-long piece lemongrass, pounded

Sea salt
How to make Lemongrass-Ginger-Carrot Soup
In a large saucepan over medium heat, heat the ghee or olive oil. Add the onion and sweat until translucent, about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the carrots, ginger, and lemongrass and stir to coat the vegetables with the ghee or oil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 10 minutes.
Add the broth and increase the heat to medium. Bring the soup to a simmer and cook until the carrots are tender, about 15 minutes.
Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth, blending in batches if necessary. Season with sea salt to taste and serve immediately.
You can refrigerate the soup for up to 1 week, or freeze it for up to 6 months.
