Ingredients
  

4 large carrots, peeled and chopped into small rounds

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely grated

1 small onion, finely diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups vegetable broth

3 tablespoons miso paste (preferably white or yellow)

1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon ground turmeric (optional, for color and health benefits)

Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

1 green onion, thinly sliced (for garnish)

A handful of fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, warm the sesame oil and olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until softened and translucent. Incorporate the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until aromatic.

    Cook Carrots: Stir in the chopped carrots and ground turmeric (if using), ensuring the carrots are evenly coated. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to slightly soften the carrots and enhance their flavors.

      Add Broth: Carefully pour in the vegetable broth and increase the heat until the mixture reaches a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and easily pierced with a fork.

        Blend the Soup: Using an immersion blender, blend the soup directly in the pot until it reaches a silky consistency. (Alternatively, you can transfer the soup in batches to a traditional blender—just be cautious of splattering hot liquid!)

          Incorporate Miso: In a small bowl, take a ladleful of the hot soup and mix it with the miso paste, stirring until fully dissolved. Add this miso mixture back into the pot, followed by the soy sauce. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with sea salt and black pepper as needed.

            Serve: Ladle the warm soup into bowls and garnish generously with sliced green onions and fresh cilantro. Serve steaming hot and enjoy every blissful spoonful!

                Presentation Tips: For an elegant touch, drizzle a few drops of sesame oil on top of each bowl before adding the garnishes, or serve with a wedge of lime on the side for a touch of brightness.
