Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon, grated fresh ginger
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional, for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and chop the carrots into small chunks for even cooking. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 4–5 minutes, or until softened and slightly golden.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the ground cumin and ground coriander. Stir to coat the onions and spices evenly.
Add the chopped carrots to the pot and pour in the vegetable stock.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the carrots are very tender.
Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a countertop blender in batches and blend until creamy.
Stir in the coconut milk and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Reheat the soup on low if needed, ensuring it doesn’t boil to preserve the creamy texture.
Serve hot in bowls, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
