Ingredients
- 1½ tablespoons coconut or olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1½ pounds carrots, peeled and chopped

Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or other soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the ginger, garlic, and turmeric and cook another minute until fragrant.
- Add the carrots and broth. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cover the pot. Cook until carrots are tender, about 25 minutes. Stir in the orange juice, salt and pepper.
- Using an immersion blender, carefully puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can puree the soup in a blender. To serve, ladle the soup into four bowls and top each with garnishes like Greek yogurt, cilantro, and sunflower seeds.
