Description

A creamy and aromatic soup made with carrots, coconut milk, and warming spices, perfect for a comforting and healthy meal.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
  • 1.5 pounds (about 5-6) carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 (14 oz) can coconut milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the onion and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for another minute.
  4. Add the cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and chili flakes (if using), and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  5. Add the chopped carrots and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until carrots are tender.
  6. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or transfer to a blender in batches.
  7. Return the soup to the pot (if blended in a blender) and stir in the coconut milk. Heat through.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

  • For extra depth of flavor, roast the carrots before adding to the soup.
  • Add a squeeze of lime juice for brightness.
  • Can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days or frozen for longer storage.
