Use other onions - Use any type of onion you have on hand. Red, yellow, or white onions will all work just fine.
Add ginger - Try adding in a bit of fresh ginger for an extra dose of flavor! It's a totally delicious variation.
Use roasted carrots - Instead of boiling your carrots, you can also opt to roast them until soft. This will change up the flavor a bit, making it a touch richer.
