Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 4 large carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Directions

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
  3. Add the chopped carrots and sweet potatoes to the pot and stir to combine with the onion, garlic, and ginger.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk. Season with cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
  5. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the carrots and sweet potatoes are tender.
  6. Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, puree the soup until smooth and creamy. If using a regular blender, be sure to blend in batches and vent the blender to prevent any accidents from hot liquid.
  7. Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings, if needed.
  8. Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh cilantro or parsley.
