Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (peeled and chopped) carrots
- 3 cups (peeled and chopped) parsnips
- 1 large (chopped) yellow onion
- 3 cloves (minced) garlic
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup (unsweetened) coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoons turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoons (freshly ground) black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and chop the carrots, parsnips, and onion into evenly-sized pieces for even cooking.
Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil and sauté the chopped onion until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and continue cooking for an additional 1 minute. This step enhances the flavor of the soup.
Transfer the sautéed onion and garlic to the crock pot.
Add the chopped carrots, parsnips, vegetable broth, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, salt, and black pepper into the crock pot.
Stir everything together to combine evenly.
Set the crock pot to cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the vegetables are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Once cooked, use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the crock pot until smooth. Alternatively, transfer it in batches to a countertop blender and puree until smooth, then return to the crock pot.
Stir in the coconut milk to add creaminess and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or black pepper if needed.
Serve the soup hot in bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
