Instructions
How To Make Carrot Soup with Ginger in Instant Pot
First, set the Instant Pot on saute mode and melt the butter or warm up the oil in the inner pot. Next, add the bay leaf, cinnamon, onions, ginger, and garlic and sauté until they soften.
Once the onions are ready, add in the carrots, salt, broth or water and give it all a quick stir.
Close the lid, seal the vent, and then pressure cook for 10 minutes followed by a natural pressure release.
When the safety button drops, open the lid carefully and then blend until smooth using a hand blender . If you don’t have a hand blender, you can carefully pour the carrot and ginger soup into a stand blender, blend on high, and then pour the blended soup back into the Instant Pot after blending.
Once smooth and blended, pour the soup into bowls, garnish with coconut or table cream, crushed black pepper, and chives or fresh parsley. Serve along side your favorite bread.
