Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 lbs carrots, peeled and sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 cups vegetable stock
1/2 cup coconut milk (plus extra for garnish)
Fresh herbs or seeds, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until it becomes soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the carrots and garlic, and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the ground coriander, salt, and pepper, and cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Pour in the vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are very soft.
Remove from heat and blend the soup using an immersion blender or in batches in a regular blender until completely smooth.
Stir in the coconut milk and reheat gently if needed. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve hot, garnished with a swirl of coconut milk and optional herbs or seeds.
Notes
You can substitute heavy cream for coconut milk if you’re not dairy-free.
For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a small piece of fresh ginger.
