Ingredients
  

1 lb of fresh carrots, peeled and chopped into small pieces

1 medium yellow onion, diced finely

2 large cloves of garlic, minced

1 tablespoon of fresh ginger, grated

4 cups of vegetable broth (homemade or store-bought)

1 cup of coconut milk (or you can use heavy cream for richness)

2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon of ground cumin (optional for added depth)

Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely diced onion and sauté for approximately 5 minutes, or until the onions are soft and translucent. Next, add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan. Sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until you can smell the fragrant aroma.

    Cook the Carrots: Add the chopped carrots to the saucepan and stir to ensure they are well combined with the aromatics. Allow the carrots to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, so they soften slightly and begin to release their natural sweetness.

      Add Broth: Carefully pour in the vegetable broth, stirring in the ground cumin if you choose to include it. Raise the heat until the mixture boils, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let the soup simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the carrots are fork-tender.

        Blend It Up: Once the carrots are tender, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly for safety. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until it is completely smooth and creamy. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender, blending until smooth, and then return it to the saucepan.

          Stir in Creaminess: Return the blended soup to low heat and gently stir in the coconut milk (or heavy cream). Heat through for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.

            Serve: Ladle the creamy carrot ginger soup into warm bowls. For a finishing touch, garnish each bowl with a sprinkle of fresh chopped cilantro or parsley, adding a pop of color and freshness to your dish.
