Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, chopped yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 6 cups chopped carrots
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup chopped for garnish fresh cilantro
Instructions
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and garlic to the pot, sauté for 5 minutes until the onion is translucent.
Add the chopped carrots to the pot and cook for 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, until the carrots are tender.
Stir in the coconut milk, ground cumin, ground coriander, grated ginger, maple syrup, salt, and black pepper.
Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly before blending.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a standing blender in batches, and blend until smooth.
Return the blended soup to the pot, adjusting the seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.
Reheat the soup gently, if needed, before serving.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.
