Staple ingredients such as oil, salt, sugar, etc., aren’t always included here as you’re likely to have those in your kitchen.

The complete list of ALL ingredients with measurements is found on the recipe card at the end of this post.

Ingredients Needed for Ginger Carrot Soup

• Dairy – Half & Half (Single Cream)
• Vegetable Stock/Broth

Equipment Needed for This Recipe

Recipes on The Purple Pumpkin Blog use both cup measurements and/or weighted measurements. American cups and kitchen food scales are handy pieces of equipment to have in your kitchen as it means you’ll be able to make all of the different recipes on my blog. I try to give American, imperial, and metric measurements in my recipes. Please note, that you can mix cup measurements with weighted measurements, but never mix imperial (pounds, ounces, pints, etc.,) with metric (kilograms, grams, liters, etc.,).

Soup Freezing Tips

• Storing Leftovers: Cool, transfer to an airtight container, and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.

  • Label with the name of the dish, thawing/reheating instructions, and the date to keep track of your food storage.
  • The soup will last in the freezer for up to 6 months.
  • Defrost the soup by placing it in the fridge to thaw overnight (or at least 12 hours).
