Directions

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, 4–5 minutes.

  2. Add the minced garlic and freshly grated ginger. Sauté for about 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the coriander and turmeric. Cook for another minute to toast the spices.

  3. Add the chopped carrots to the pot and sauté for a few minutes, coating them with the aromatic spices.

  4. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the pot and let the carrots cook until they are tender.

  5. Once the carrots are cooked, use an immersion blender to pureé the soup until smooth.
    Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.

  6. Stir in the coconut milk and season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.

  7. Let the soup simmer for a few more minutes to heat through.

  8. Serve the spiced ginger carrot soup hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro.
