Ingredients

• 6 medium, peeled and chopped carrots
• 1 medium, diced onion
• 3 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon, freshly grated ginger
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cups vegetable stock
• 1 cup, full-fat coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon, adjust to taste salt
• 0.5 teaspoon, freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional, for garnish) fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes or until soft and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and freshly grated ginger and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the peeled and chopped carrots, ground cumin, ground coriander, and ground turmeric. Stir to coat the carrots in the spices.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and easily pierced with a fork.

Step 7

Remove the pot from heat and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 8

Using an immersion blender, carefully puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, blend in batches using a countertop blender, making sure to vent the lid to prevent pressure build-up.

Step 9

Stir in the coconut milk, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 10

Reheat the soup gently over low heat, then serve warm, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.
