Ingredients
  

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and grated

1 pound carrots, peeled and chopped into equal-sized pieces

4 cups vegetable broth

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon ground coriander

Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

1 cup coconut milk (or heavy cream for a richer texture)

Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

Optional: Fresh lime wedges for a squeeze of brightness

Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent and soft, about 5 minutes. Next, stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 2 minutes or until fragrant and aromatic.

    Add Carrots and Spices: Incorporate the chopped carrots into the pot, followed by the ground cumin and coriander. Stir well to ensure that the spices evenly coat the carrots. Sauté for an extra 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

      Pour in Broth: Add the vegetable broth to the pot, ensuring the carrots are fully submerged in the liquid. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer gently for about 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are thoroughly tender.

        Blend the Soup: Once the carrots are soft, remove the pot from the heat. Use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth and creamy. If using a regular countertop blender, let the soup cool slightly before carefully blending in batches to avoid splattering.

          Add Creaminess: Return the blended soup to the pot. Stir in the coconut milk (or heavy cream) gradually and mix until fully combined. Heat the soup gently over low heat until warmed through, being careful not to let it boil.

            Season and Serve: Taste the soup and season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lime juice if you desire an extra pop of flavor. Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh cilantro leaves for a touch of color and freshness.
