Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium carrots
- 1 large onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons ginger
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
Instructions
Peel and chop the carrots into small rounds. Finely chop the onion and garlic. Grate or mince the ginger.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté for 5 minutes until soft and translucent.
Add the garlic and ginger to the pot and sauté for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Stir in the ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices and release their aroma.
Add the chopped carrots to the pot and stir to coat them in the spices.
Pour in the vegetable broth, bringing the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.
Remove the pot from heat and allow the soup to cool slightly. Use an immersion blender or transfer it in batches to a standing blender to puree until smooth.
Return the soup to the pot and stir in the coconut milk. Heat gently over low heat, but do not boil.
Season the soup with salt, black pepper, and lime juice to taste. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve warm with crusty bread or naan on the side.
