Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, roughly chopped
  • 1.5 lbs carrots, roughly chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp fresh ginger, peeled, grated
  • 2 tsp curry powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 3 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 can light coconut milk (13.5 oz)
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 large roughly chopped yellow onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes until softened.

  2. 2

    Add 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tsp peeled, grated fresh ginger, 2 tsp curry powder, and 1/2 tsp ground cumin. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add 1.5 lbs roughly chopped carrots and 3 cups low-sodium vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes until the carrots are completely tender.

  4. 4

    Remove from heat. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup directly in the pot until completely smooth. Alternatively, transfer in batches to a countertop blender, venting the lid carefully.

  5. 5

    Stir in 1 can light coconut milk (13.5 oz) and 2 tbsp fresh lime juice. Return to low heat and warm through for 2 minutes. Season with 1/2 tsp kosher salt and 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot.
