Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) fresh carrots, peeled and chopped

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated

4 cups vegetable broth

1 cup coconut milk (or heavy cream for a richer flavor)

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp ground cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish

Optional: a squeeze of lime for added brightness

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for about 5 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

    Cook the Carrots: Add the chopped carrots to the pot, stirring to combine with the onion, garlic, and ginger. Sprinkle in the ground cumin and stir well, allowing the mixture to cook for another 3-4 minutes.

      Add Broth: Pour in the vegetable broth, ensuring the carrots are submerged. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and let cook for about 20 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.

        Blend the Soup: Once the carrots are cooked through, remove the pot from the heat. Using an immersion blender, purée the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender.

          Stir in Coconut Milk: Return the puréed soup to the pot (if using a blender) and stir in the coconut milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and warm through gently over low heat.

            Serve: Ladle the creamy soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley, and if desired, add a squeeze of lime juice for an extra zing. Enjoy warm!
