Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large, diced yellow onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon, grated fresh ginger
• 2 pounds, peeled and sliced carrots
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons ground turmeric
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional for garnish) fresh parsley or cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes, or until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot, and sauté for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Step 4

Stir in the sliced carrots, and cook for 2-3 minutes to lightly caramelize them.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable broth, salt, black pepper, ground cumin, and turmeric. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.

Step 7

Remove the pot from heat. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender to puree, then return it to the pot.

Step 8

Stir in the coconut milk, and return the pot to low heat. Simmer for 5 more minutes to let the flavors meld.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or spices as desired.

Step 10

Ladle the soup into bowls, and garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired. Serve warm.
