A perfect Fall soup, this carrot ginger soup recipe is made with carrots, ginger and Carnation® Evaporated Milk.
Can you believe the gorgeous colour of this soup! Full of carrots, ginger and a bit of onion and garlic, this delicious soup is made with lots of vegetables and just milk, for some creaminess
For this version, I used canned evaporated milk. I love the flavour and texture of evaporated milk in soups, and it’s also easy as it’s always ready-to-use and available in my pantry cupboard. If you don’t have evaporated milk on hand, regular milk will work, as well.

Recipe Notes
Make extra soup and freeze to have on hand. Soup may thicken so just add a bit of stock or water to thin out to desired consistency. I used chicken stock for my soup. I would recommend either chicken or vegetable stock for the riches flavour.
I never thought about this, I’m now fascinated and I’ll have to give it a try, maybe with a chowder. I love your photography, Jennifer, it always wows me!
Thanks so much, Sue :) And yes, would be great in a chowder!
I’m loving all these gorgeous soup recipes! There comes a time around December when I stock up on homemade soups and freeze the leftovers for easy access at any time. This will definitely be one that I make this season!
Thanks Sarah. We loved this one. So easy and all that carrot goodness :)
Carrot ginger soup is one of my favorites, love the creaminess of this!
Thanks Laura. I loved the flavours combination, too!
Yes I CAN believe the gorgeous color of this soup because YOU made it Jennifer! And everything you make is gorgeous. Love the idea of using carnation in soups. That never occurred to me either. I can’t wait to try it out. I don’t drink a lot of milk products, so I often don’t have them on hand and have to make a special trip out to the store. But canned milk….I can load up my pantry with that! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much, Liz :) It was a revelation for me, too! So easy to use.
You have the best fall recipes. This soup looks soooo good!
Thanks Katrina. We really loved this soup!
