Ingredients
  

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely grated

1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces

4 cups vegetable broth (preferably low-sodium)

1 teaspoon ground coriander

½ teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

½ cup coconut milk (or heavy cream for a richer texture)

Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Optional: A squeeze of fresh lime juice for added brightness

Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until they release their wonderful aroma.

    Add Carrots and Spices: Stir in the chopped carrots, ground coriander, and cumin. Allow the mixture to cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently to lightly toast the spices—this enhances their flavors.

      Simmer: Pour the vegetable broth into the pot, bringing the mixture to a rolling boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are fork-tender and easily pierced.

        Blend: Remove the pot from the heat and let the soup cool for about 5 minutes. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until perfectly smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a traditional blender in batches, ensuring to vent the lid to avoid pressure buildup from the hot liquid.

          Add Creaminess: Return the blended soup to the pot (if blended in batches) and stir in the coconut milk (or heavy cream). Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Gently reheat over low heat until warmed through, stirring occasionally to combine the flavors.

            Finishing Touches: To deepen the flavor profile, add a squeeze of fresh lime juice right before serving, enhancing the soup's natural brightness.

              Serve: Ladle the velvety soup into warm bowls and garnish generously with fresh cilantro leaves. Serve immediately and savor the comforting essence of your creamy carrot ginger bliss!
