1. Peel the carrots and finely chop them. Peel the garlic cloves and mince them. Grate or finely chop the ginger. Finely slice the green onions. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the carrots, onions, and garlic. Sauté until the onions become translucent, approximately 10 minutes.

3. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. If you don't have an immersion blender, you can use a regular blender—transfer the soup to the blender container, blend until smooth, then return it to the pot. In a small bowl, whisk together the miso and 1.5 cups of the soup. Pour this mixture back into the pot with the soup. Season to taste with salt, black pepper, and additional miso if desired. Ladle the soup into bowls, drizzle with sesame oil, and sprinkle with green onions. Serve immediately.
