Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds (900g) carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups (960 ml) vegetable broth, low-sodium recommended
  • 1 can (13.5 oz / 400 ml) full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (or coconut oil)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Veggies (10 minutes): Peel and chop carrots into roughly 1-inch pieces. Dice onion, grate ginger, and mince garlic.
  2. Sauté Aromatics (5 minutes): Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add ginger and garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add Carrots and Broth (5 minutes): Add chopped carrots and vegetable broth. Stir and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 25-30 minutes until carrots are fork-tender.
  4. Blend Until Smooth (5-10 minutes): Remove pot from heat. Use an immersion blender to blend soup until smooth. Alternatively, blend in batches using a stand blender and return to pot.
  5. Stir in Coconut Milk and Season (3 minutes): Add coconut milk and stir gently. Season with salt, pepper, and lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Warm Through and Serve (2 minutes): Warm soup gently on low heat without boiling. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley.

Notes

Use fresh ginger for best flavor. Add coconut milk last and warm gently to avoid separation. Adjust thickness by adding broth or simmering longer. Blend carefully with hot liquids to avoid splatters.
