Meanwhile, in a large soup pot, heat the rest of the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onions until translucent and tender. Add thyme and ginger and sauté gently until fragrant.
Add roasted carrots and broth and bring to a boil and then turn down to a simmer for 10 minutes.
Use an immersion blender, or blender to purée the soup. Add more stock if needed to reach the desired thickness.
