Put your olive oil in a skillet on medium heat. Put in the carrots, garlic, onion, and bell pepper. Cook, stirring quite often for about 5 minutes of time. The vegetables should be soft. Put in the vegetable broth, thyme leaves, and minced ginger and stir.
Cover and cook until the carrots are done, which is fork tender. This will take about 15 minutes or so. Stir once or twice during this time.
Take off of the heat and puree with your immersion blender. Taste and add seasonings as needed.
Put back on medium heat and add in the half and half. Sture until combined barely and cook until heated which will take about 2 minutes. Serve!
