Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 15-ounce cans Canned carrots
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 1 small Yellow onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cups Vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup Coconut milk (optional for creaminess)
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley or cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the ginger. Finely chop the small onion and garlic cloves.
Heat olive oil in a medium-sized pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
Add the garlic and ginger to the pot and sauté for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Drain the canned carrots and add them to the pot, stirring to combine with the aromatics.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
Using an immersion blender, carefully puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the coconut milk, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro before serving.
