In a large skillet, heat the butter or olive oil over medium heat. Once hot,
add the onion, garlic, ginger and ¼ teaspoon of the salt. Cook until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

Add the carrots, remaining salt, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg and thyme sprig to the skillet; stir to coat ingredients and cook until carrots are slightly tender, about 8 minutes. Remove thyme sprig.

Put the softened vegetables into the blender jar. Add chicken broth. Secure lid.

Select the Soup function and press Start.

When soup has finished blending, carefully remove lid—soup will be hot. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
