Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for another 30 seconds to wake up the spices.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften and break down.
Add the carrot slices, diced zucchini, and corn kernels. Stir well to coat the vegetables in the spices.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 15 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the coconut milk, fresh lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve warm.
