Ingredients
Scale
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
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
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic, ginger, and turmeric. 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.
Remove the pot from the heat. Carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender, or use an immersion blender directly in the pot. Blend until completely smooth and silky.
Return the soup to the pot if necessary. Stir in the full-fat coconut milk, salt, and pepper. Heat gently until warmed through; do not boil after adding coconut milk.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving.
Notes
For an extra smooth texture, strain the soup through a fine-mesh sieve after blending.
Garnish with fresh cilantro or a swirl of extra coconut milk for presentation.
This recipe freezes well for future healthy carrot soup meals.
