Peel and chop the carrots into thin slices for even cooking.
Dice the onion and mince the garlic and ginger.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped carrots to the pot and toss to combine with the aromatics.
Pour in the vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20 minutes or until the carrots are tender.
Using an immersion blender (or carefully transferring the soup to a countertop blender in batches), blend the soup until smooth and velvety.
If using coconut milk, stir it into the soup for added creaminess.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
