Top Tips for Making Carrot Ginger Soup
*If you are not a fan of curry, you can skip the curry altogether - add a pinch more salt instead.
*Blend the soup for a few minutes in the blender, until the soup is very creamy. This is what will give your soup a nice, silky texture.
*Be careful when blending a hot soup! Blend in a few batches, don't fill the blender too full and always start the blender on the lowest speed and slowly increase to a higher speed to prevent splattering.
Freezing and Storage Instructions
Refrigerate in an airtight container for 3-5 days. It's important to make sure the soup is stored properly and that the container is tightly sealed to help prevent any spoilage.
If you don't intend to eat the soup within 3-5 days, you can freeze it for later use.
The soup can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
