Instant Pot Carrot Apple Ginger Soup (6 Ingredients & Easy)

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 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

1. Place all ingredients except the cumin and curry into the liner pot of your Instant Pot.

2. Add enough water to cover the vegetables

3. Secure the lid and set the pressure cooker to 8 minutes.

4. When cooking is complete, carefully release the steam according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

5. Once all pressure is released, remove the lid.

6. Using an immersion blender, blend until smooth and creamy (or leave a little texture if you prefer).

7. 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
