When the temperatures drop and everyone starts talking about snowstorms, all I want is a warm, cozy bowl of soup. Even though there’s no snow here in sunny Florida, my family in Pennsylvania and New York has been sending blizzard photos — and let’s just say, it’s serious soup weather up there!
This easy carrot apple soup is my go-to when I want something fast, nourishing, and comforting. It’s a no-fuss recipe you can throw together and have on the table in under 30 minutes. Simple ingredients. Big flavor. Zero stress.
What I love most about this soup is the natural sweetness from the carrots and apples, balanced with warming garlic, fresh ginger, and a touch of cumin. It feels cozy and grounding — exactly what you crave during the colder months.
And the bonus? It’s completely gluten-free, dairy-free, and plant-based vegan. Just whole, real ingredients that nourish your body while tasting absolutely delicious. Packed with antioxidants and immune-supporting goodness, it’s the kind of winter recipe that makes you feel good from the inside out.
However, whether it’s winter, fall, spring, or even summer- this delicious soup will hit the spot.
Easy Instant Pot Carrot Apple Ginger Soup (6 Ingredients!)
Ingredients
-
6 large organic carrots, peeled and sliced
-
2 medium red apples, diced (I used Fuji and left the skin on)
-
1 russet potato, peeled and cubed
-
1 large clove garlic, diced
-
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
-
Water to just cover vegetables
-
½ teaspoon ground cumin and 1/2 teaspoon of curry powder
Directions
-
Place all ingredients except the cumin and curry into the liner pot of your Instant Pot.
-
Add enough water to cover the vegetables
-
Secure the lid and set the pressure cooker to 8 minutes.
-
When cooking is complete, carefully release the steam according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
-
Once all pressure is released, remove the lid.
-
Using an immersion blender, blend until smooth and creamy (or leave a little texture if you prefer).
-
Stir in the cumin and curry powder. Taste and adjust seasoning — you may want a bit more cumin or some freshly cracked black pepper.
That’s it. Cozy comfort in a bowl.
Variations
-
Stir in a splash of coconut milk for creaminess (if you’re not oil-free).
-
Top with roasted pumpkin seeds for crunch.
What don’t like curry? leave it out !
