Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 500 grams carrots, peeled and sliced
- 300 grams parsnips, peeled and sliced
- 1 liter vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 200 milliliters coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced carrots and parsnips to the pot, stirring to combine with the aromatics.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until creamy.
Return the soup to the pot (if blended separately) and stir in the salt, black pepper, ground coriander, and coconut milk.
Heat the soup gently over low heat for 3-4 minutes, ensuring it is warmed through but not boiling.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley, if desired.
