Ingredients

  • 2 lbs carrots, peeled, cut into chunks
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, roughly chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1 inch fresh ginger, peeled, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp ground coriander
  • 4 cups compliant vegetable broth (no added sugar)
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro or parsley, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss 2 lbs peeled, cut into chunks carrots, 1 roughly chopped yellow onion, and 4 peeled garlic cloves with 2 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt on a large baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring once halfway, until carrots are tender and caramelized at the edges.

  3. 3

    Transfer the roasted vegetables to a blender. Add 1 inch peeled, roughly chopped fresh ginger, 1/2 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 tsp ground coriander, half the 4 cups compliant vegetable broth (no added sugar), and 1 cup full-fat coconut milk.

  4. 4

    Blend on high until completely smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Hold the blender lid down with a folded towel to prevent steam from popping it.

  5. 5

    Pour the blended soup into a pot over medium heat. Stir in the remaining broth to reach your desired consistency. Season with 1 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper.

  6. 6

    Heat through for 5 minutes, then ladle into bowls and garnish with 1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro or parsley and a swirl of extra coconut milk if desired.
