Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium carrots
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cup coconut milk (optional for creaminess)
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and chop the carrots into thin slices for quicker cooking.
Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, ground cumin, and ground coriander, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced carrots to the pot and stir to coat with the spices.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the carrots are very tender.
Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot, or transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and puree until smooth.
Stir in the lime juice, lime zest, salt, and black pepper. If desired, add the coconut milk for extra creaminess and blend again to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
Serve warm and enjoy your Carrot Lime Soup!
