Wonderful Ginger Flavor
My whole family loved this. The fresh ginger is refreshing and the creaminess of the soup is divine. This is an easy recipe to make, which is a plus for a busy family. I made a recipe and a half to feed my family of 5. I also loved that it can be made vegan and no one would know it!

Highly palatable
This recipe was delicious, the carrot fibre added a comforting thick feel to the soup. I also added a tablespoon of miso -will be making this again for sure

Delicious
I made this soup for the first time last night. It was so easy and really delicious. The ginger flavour was just perfect. It was the first time I've used my Vitamix to heat a soup as well as blend and I was surprised how easy it was.

a really nice way to use tofu
My husband doesn't like tofu, so I made this soup for myself. However, he tasted it - and liked it so much that I gave him a small bowl. I am certain that I could make it for both of us, and he'd be perfectly happy.
The texture of this soup is really nice. The tofu thickens it up. I don't normally cook with white pepper - but the addition of this and the FOUR cloves of garlic really made the difference. I'll definitely be making this again.

Used the Perfect Blend App - Not good
This recipe can also be found in the Vitamix Perfect Blend app. However, it calls for 1/2 cup (50g) of ginger. Because I am a Vitamix nube I wanted to follow the directions exactly. WAY TOO GINGERY and I LOVE ginger. This recipe on the website looks to have the correct measurements. I will try again without the app.

Easy and Delicious!
I got my Vitamix a few days ago and thought it would primarily be for smoothies, but when I saw this recipe it seemed worth a try. While I love soup, I've had very little experience making my own. I followed the recipe almost exactly, but doubled the garlic because, well, garlic! It took less than 20 minutes to make and was incredibly delicious. My vegan friend was definitely impressed. I'm looking forward to making this again and trying lots more of the recipes on this site.

Delicious and nutritious!
I normally will be the first person to skip suit, but I absolutely love this ginger tofu carrot soup in the Vitamix. I was trying to find a recipe that used up odds and ends in the fridge and this ended up becoming a much-loved favorite!! If you are not a fan of spice, use half the amount of ginger. it also looks and tastes gorgeous garnished with coconut cream, which suits the Thai flavors perfectly.

Great colour and so smooth!
I made this soup many times. The ginger is too strong for young children. I cut back on ginger or omit all together. I also added extra tofu for increased thickness. The colour and taste of the soup is very nice.
