- 1 cup canned coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Chop the onion and garlic cloves finely. Add them to the pot, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Peel and grate the fresh ginger. Add it to the pot and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Peel and chop the carrots into small rounds and add them to the pot.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 25 minutes or until the carrots are tender.
Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth, or transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender.
Stir in the canned coconut milk, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Reheat the soup gently over low heat if necessary.
Just before serving, stir in the fresh lemon juice for added brightness.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
