Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 pound carrots, peeled and chopped
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Juice of 1/2 lime
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the chopped carrots and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the carrots are very tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the soup mixture to a blender or use an immersion blender directly in the pot. Add the coconut milk. Blend until completely smooth.
- Return the soup to the pot if necessary. Stir in the salt, pepper, and lime juice. Heat through gently without boiling.
- Serve warm.
Notes
- For an extra boost of flavor, garnish individual bowls with a drizzle of sesame oil or toasted pumpkin seeds.
- If you prefer a thinner soup consistency, add a little extra vegetable broth until you reach your desired texture.
