Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon fresh grated turmeric root or 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 1–2 lemons)
  • 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated
  • 4 cups (1 quart) vegetable or chicken broth, low-sodium preferred
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • A handful fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: pinch of cayenne pepper
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: peel and grate turmeric and ginger, mince garlic, dice onion and carrots, and juice lemons (about 10 minutes).
  2. Warm olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add diced onions and cook until translucent, about 4-5 minutes, stirring often.
  3. Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and turmeric. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not burnt.
  4. Add diced carrots and broth. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes until carrots are soft.
  5. Season with salt, black pepper, and optional cayenne pepper. Stir well.
  6. Remove pot from heat. Stir in fresh lemon juice and taste; adjust seasoning if needed.
  7. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro. Serve hot.

Notes

Add lemon juice off the heat to keep its bright flavor. Avoid burning garlic and turmeric by cooking on medium heat and stirring constantly. For a smoother texture, blend part or all of the soup before adding lemon juice. Use fresh turmeric root for brighter flavor; if using powder, use less to avoid bitterness. Broth choice can be vegetable or chicken; use vegetable broth for vegan version. Store leftovers in airtight container in fridge up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months.
