Ingredients
  

1 tablespoon coconut oil

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1 pound carrots, peeled and diced

4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth for added richness)

1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon turmeric powder

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Juice of 1 lime

Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)

Instructions
 

Sauté Base: In a spacious pot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion turns translucent and begins to soften.

    Add Aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic and freshly grated ginger. Continue to cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the mixture to become fragrant and the garlic to lightly golden.

      Incorporate Carrots: Add the diced carrots to the pot and sprinkle the ground cumin and turmeric over the top. Toss the vegetables gently to ensure they are evenly coated with the spices, enhancing their flavors.

        Pour in Broth: Carefully pour the vegetable broth into the pot, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the carrots are fork-tender.

          Blend the Soup: Once the carrots are tender, remove the pot from heat. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until it reaches a creamy and smooth consistency. If you prefer a traditional blender, allow the soup to cool slightly, then transfer it in batches, blending until smooth.

            Add Coconut Milk: After blending, if you used a traditional blender, return the soup to the pot. Stir in the can of coconut milk, mixing well. Heat the soup on low for an additional 5 minutes to allow all the flavors to meld beautifully.

              Season: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and the lime juice to achieve your desired flavor profile.

                Serve and Garnish: Ladle the vibrant soup into bowls. Garnish each bowl with fresh cilantro leaves, and for those who enjoy a bit of heat, sprinkle red pepper flakes on top. Enjoy your comforting bowl of Carrot Ginger Coconut Bliss!
