Ingredients

  • 1 (15-oz) can coconut milk full-fat, canned, divided
  • 1 yellow onion diced, medium
  • 2 pounds carrot peeled and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon ginger grated, fresh
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt or to taste
  • Pinch cayenne pepper optional
  • 32 ounces vegetable broth low sodium

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large pot, add 1/2 cup of the coconut milk and sauté the onion, carrots, grated ginger, garlic, cumin and turmeric over medium heat until carrots begin to soften and everything is very fragrant, about 8 minutes. If you want to speed up the process, you can cover the pot and stir from time to time.
  2. Add the remaining coconut milk and vegetable broth. Increase heat to high and bring to a full boil.
  3. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer, covered for 20 to 30 minutes until carrots are soft.
  4. Transfer everything to a blender (this will need to be done in batches) and blend until completely smooth. Leave the steam vent at the top of the lid slightly cracked so that steam can escape and be sure to blend on medium speed. Note: if you have an immersion blender, now is a great time to use it!
  5. Pour the smooth carrot soup back into the pot and heat for a few minutes unless it’s already at the desired temperature (my blender heats as it blends, so the soup’s ready after blending). If you do reheat on the stove, do so gently, else your delicious soup will become a cauldron of bubbling, spurting lava.
  6. Serve with a drizzle of coconut milk on top, sesame seeds, fresh chopped cilantro, and/or a dollop of coconut milk yogurt.
