Ingredients

Carrot Coconut Milk Ingredients
  • Carrots: The main ingredient! I recommend using organic carrots, these are much more aromatic and can be used with the skin on. No need to peel them when washed thoroughly.
  • Coconut Milk: Makes the soup extra creamy, intense, mild, and gives it an irresistible coconut flavor!
  • Onion & Garlic: A must for more flavor.
  • Vegetable Broth: This is what the carrots are cooked in! The higher quality the vegetable broth is, the better the soup tastes 😉.
  • Lime Juice: A little acid to taste! Works too with lemon juice.
  • Variations: Do you love ginger? Peel a small piece of fresh ginger and roughly chop it. Sauté with the onion and garlic. Curry fans are welcome to stir some curry powder or red curry paste into the soup for seasoning.
  • Soup Toppings: Coconut Milk (or dairy-free cream), fresh herbs (parsley or chives), sunflower seeds, or croutons make for a pretty soup garnish.
