Spiced coconut carrot soup is a delicious and nutritious dish that is perfect for cooler weather. This soup typically combines carrots, coconut milk, and warming spices like ginger, cumin, and cinnamon to create a rich and flavorful base. The addition of coconut milk not only adds creaminess but also provides healthy fats that can help with nutrient absorption. Carrots are also a great source of fiber, vitamins A and C, and other important nutrients. This soup is easy to make and can be customized to suit individual tastes by adjusting the spice level or adding other ingredients like sweet potatoes or lentils. Overall, spiced coconut carrot soup is a tasty way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet while enjoying the comforting flavors of fall.
Ingredients
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 onion, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon curry powder
4 cups chopped carrots
1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
4 cups vegetable broth
Salt and black pepper to taste
Chopped fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish (optional)
Directions
- In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and translucent.
- Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, and curry powder to the pot. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- Add the chopped carrots to the pot and stir to coat them with the spice mixture. Pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk, and bring the soup to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.
- Remove the soup from the heat and let it cool slightly. Use an immersion blender or transfer the soup to a blender and puree until smooth.
- Return the soup to the pot and reheat over low heat if needed. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Serve the Spiced Coconut Carrot Soup hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro or parsley, if desired.
