Ingredients
- 5 cups carrot sliced
- 1 yellow onion sliced, or red onion
- 2- inch ginger peeled and sliced
- 5 garlic unpeeled, cloves
- 1 Tablespoon salt
- 1 Tablespoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 15 ounces coconut milk canned
- lemon juice juice from 1 lemon
- 2 Tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 Tablespoon rice vinegar or any vinegar
- 2 cups rice noodles optional, cooked
- green onion optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or use parchment paper, and spread carrots, onion, ginger, and garlic cloves onto it.
- Sprinkle with salt, cumin, and cayenne.
- Place in oven and bake for 25 minutes until carrots and onions are starting to brown.
- In a large pot, combine vegetable broth and coconut milk over medium-low heat. When veggies are soft, squeeze garlic from its papers and add all veggies to the pot along with lemon juice, soy sauce, and vinegar. Blend well with an immersion blender or regular blender. Add noodles and sliced green onions if using and serve.
Notes
- Add rice noodles only just before serving so they remain firm and do not become mushy.
- Roasting the vegetables enhances their natural sweetness and adds complexity to the soup.
