Ingredients

See recipe card for quantities.

• 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.

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.

Visual Step-by-Step Instructions

This visual step-by-step instruction will help you along the way – definitely recommended if you’re a cooking beginner! 😉

• Peel and mince the onion and garlic. Peel and roughly chop the carrots (no need to peel them if using organic carrots).
• Heat a large pot with oil. Sauté the onion and garlic for 2 minutes.
• Add carrots, sauté for another 5 minutes.
• Deglaze with vegetable broth and coconut milk, bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 15 minutes until the carrots are tender. Stir occasionally.

• Blend the soup in a high-speed blender or immersion blender, until creamy. → Feel free to add more vegetable broth or water if you like your soup a little thinner.

• Return soup to the pot, season with lime juice, salt, and pepper. Serve in bowls!

Soup Toppings: Coconut Milk (or dairy-free cream), fresh herbs (parsley or chives), sunflower seeds, or croutons make for a pretty soup garnish.

Storage & Freezing Instructions

How long does this soup last? You can keep it refrigerated in a sealed container for at least five days.

How do I heat soup back up? You can put it in the microwave either for a few minutes, or heat it in a pot on the stove over medium heat. The soup may thicken up slightly in the fridge, but it usually liquefies again when it’s warmed up. If it’s still too thick, add some extra water if you need to.

Can I freeze the soup? Yes, you can freeze it for a good 3 months and defrost straight into a pot over medium heat. You don’t need to let it thaw beforehand.
