Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) carrots, peeled and chopped into bite-sized pieces

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated

4 cups vegetable broth

1 cup coconut milk

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes soft and translucent. Next, add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until they release a fragrant aroma.

    Add Carrots and Spices: Stir in the chopped carrots, ensuring they are well-coated with the sautéed onion mixture. Sprinkle in the ground cumin and turmeric, and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse into the vegetables.

      Pour in Broth: Carefully pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a vigorous boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes, or until the carrots are fork-tender.

        Blend the Soup: Allow the soup to cool slightly, then carefully transfer it to a blender in batches, or alternatively, use an immersion blender directly in the pot. Blend until the mixture reaches a silky, smooth consistency. If the soup is too thick for your liking, add a splash of water or additional broth to reach the desired creaminess.

          Stir in Coconut Milk: Return the blended soup to the pot and stir in the creamy coconut milk. Heat gently over low heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

            Serve: Ladle the vibrant soup into warm bowls. If desired, garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley for an added pop of color and flavor. Enjoy this comforting and nourishing dish while it's warm!
