Instructions

Step 1

Thinly slice the carrot, onion, and ginger.

Step 2

In a pot, combine the vegetable dashi and water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 1–2 minutes.

Step 3

In a separate pan, sauté the onion with butter until soft. Add the carrot and ginger, stirring to coat thoroughly with the butter. Pour the dashi broth from step 2 into the pan and simmer until the carrots are tender.

Step 4

Blend the mixture in a blender until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh strainer.

Step 5

Pour the soup into serving cups and top with a swirl of cream if desired.

Tip

You can reduce the amount of ginger, if you prefer a milder taste.
