Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) fresh carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons fresh ginger, finely grated

4 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth

1 cup full-fat coconut milk

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, for a touch of sweetness)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped, for garnish

Fresh lime wedges, for squeezing (optional)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion turns translucent and fragrant.

    Incorporate Carrots and Ginger: Add the chopped carrots and freshly grated ginger to the pot. Stir well and cook for an additional 5 minutes. This will allow the ginger to release its delightful aroma and add depth to the dish.

      Add the Broth: Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, stirring to combine. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a vigorous boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are fork-tender.

        Blend Until Smooth: Carefully remove the pot from the heat. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth and creamy. If using a countertop blender, transfer the soup in batches, ensuring each batch has some steam vented to prevent splattering.

          Incorporate Coconut Milk: Return the blended soup to low heat in the pot. Gently stir in the coconut milk and maple syrup, if desired. Allow the soup to simmer for another 5 minutes, which helps the flavors meld beautifully.

            Season to Perfection: Taste the soup, then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper according to your preference. If you like a zesty kick, add a squeeze of fresh lime juice for brightness.

              Serve with Flair: Ladle the warm soup into bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro or parsley for a fresh touch. Serve alongside lime wedges for an extra dose of tang, and enjoy this comforting bowl of bliss!
