Vegan Lemon Ginger Carrot Soup Recipe

Just like our Lemon Ginger Carrot soup, but made vegan by using olive oil or coconut oil instead of butter, this is perhaps the best carrot soup in the world! Everybody loves it, children and grown-ups alike! Try it for yourself: Take a modest carrot soup, add lemon rind and fresh ginger root and be impressed. I like to serve my soups with a dollop of vegan cream, but the ground lentils make the soup ultra-creamy, so I happily skip the cream for this one. Gluten Free. Serves 4 as a starter or 2 as a soup dinner.
