Creating Carrot & Miso Soup is simple when you follow these clear steps. Just gather your ingredients and get ready to savor the comfort!

1. Heat Olive Oil: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Sauté Onions and Garlic: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot, cooking until the onion is translucent and fragrant, around 3-4 minutes.
3. Add Carrots and Ginger: Stir in the chopped carrots and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 5 minutes.
4. Pour in Broth: Add the vegetable broth to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.
5. Blend the Soup: Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until it’s smooth. Alternatively, you may transfer the mixture to a blender, but allow it to cool slightly first to avoid splatters.
6. Stir in Miso: In a small bowl, dissolve the miso paste in a few tablespoons of hot soup, then stir this mixture back into the pot.
7. Season: Taste and season with salt and black pepper as needed.
8. Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing with optional toppings like green onions or sesame seeds.

By following these steps, you’ll find that making Carrot & Miso Soup is not only easy but also rewarding!
