healthy lunch recipe

A light, flavoursome carrot and ginger soup that’s ideal for batch cooking – double the recipe, eat half now, then freeze the rest for later and enjoy as an instant midweek meal.

Carrot And Ginger Soup

olive oil

onion,

garlic cloves, finely chopped

tbsp ginger

1.5kg carrots, roughly chopped

vegetable stock

Grated zest and juice ½ orange

Natural yogurt and fresh coriander leaves

Carrot and ginger soup

Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium-high heat and fry the onion for 10 minutes until soft. Add the garlic and 1½ tbsp of the ginger, then fry for another minute, stirring. Add the carrots, stock and orange zest. Bring to the boil, then turn the heat down to low and simmer for 45-50 minutes  until the carrots are tender.

Stir in the remaining ginger and the orange juice, then blend the soup until smooth using a stick blender (or whizz in a food processor or blender; see Make Ahead). Season with salt and pepper, then serve with a swirl of yogurt and a sprinkling of fresh coriander leaves.
