Ingredients

• 6 medium carrots
• 1 large yellow onion
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons optional fresh parsley or cilantro (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and chop the carrots into 1-inch pieces. Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Grate the fresh ginger.

Step 2

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until it becomes translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, turmeric, cumin, and coriander to the pot. Stir and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to release the spices' aromas.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped carrots and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are very tender.

Step 5

Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly (about 5-10 minutes).

Step 6

Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, work in batches to blend the soup in a countertop blender, being cautious of the hot liquid.

Step 7

Return the soup to low heat and stir in the coconut milk. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm the soup through.

Step 8

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