A creamy and flavorful carrot soup with a hint of ginger, perfect for a cozy meal.
Heat the butter in a large stockpot over medium heat.
Ensure the butter doesn't brown to keep the flavor mild.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
Add the carrots, potato, vegetable broth, and ginger to the pot.
Cut the vegetables into similar-sized pieces for even cooking.
Cover the pot and simmer until the vegetables are tender.
Check the vegetables with a fork to ensure they are soft.
Remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly.
Cooling prevents splattering during blending.
Blend the soup until smooth using a stick blender.
Blend in batches if using a countertop blender to avoid overfilling.
Return the soup to low heat and stir in the cream, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Adjust the seasoning to taste before serving.
Serve the soup warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with crusty bread for a complete meal.
