Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon, grated fresh ginger
- 4 medium, peeled and chopped carrots
- 4 medium, peeled and chopped parsnips
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes until soft and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the peeled and chopped carrots and parsnips, and stir to coat with the onion, garlic, and ginger mixture.
Sprinkle in the ground cumin and coriander, then stir to combine.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 25 minutes or until the carrots and parsnips are tender.
Remove the soup from heat and use an immersion blender to purée it until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a blender in batches to purée.
Stir in the coconut milk, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Return the soup to medium heat and warm through for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
