A velvety, comforting soup with roasted carrots, fresh ginger, and creamy coconut milk. Perfect for cozy dinners or holiday gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds carrots, peeled and chopped into chunks
  • 12 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
  • 1 medium onion, roughly chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional garnishes: fresh parsley, a drizzle of coconut milk, or crunchy pumpkin seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the chopped carrots and onions on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
  3. Roast the vegetables for about 25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized.
  4. Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add a little olive oil and sauté the minced garlic and grated ginger for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
  5. Transfer the roasted vegetables to the pot with the garlic and ginger. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
  6. Simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  7. Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender (or use an immersion blender directly in the pot). Blend until smooth and creamy. Add more broth if the soup is too thick.
  8. Return the soup to the pot and stir in the coconut milk. Heat gently for another 2-3 minutes, but don’t let it boil.
  9. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper as needed.
  10. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley, a drizzle of coconut milk, or crunchy pumpkin seeds.
