Step-by-Step: How to Make Carrot, Ginger and Coconut Soup

Ingredients You’ll Need:

• 2 pounds carrots
• 1 onion
• 3 cloves of garlic
• 2 inches fresh ginger (about 25 g, less for a milder taste)
• 2 cups vegetable stock
• 3/4 can of coconut milk (300 ml or 10 oz)
• 1 orange
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (less for a milder taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (or other neutral oil)
• 1 pinch of salt

Directions: Cooking with Confidence

1. Prepare the vegetables. Begin by peeling and quartering the onion. Peel the garlic cloves, and wash, peel, and chop the carrots into chunks. Don’t forget to peel and slice the ginger!
2. Brown. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, garlic, ginger, along with the chili and turmeric. Stir well, and sauté for about 5 minutes. This step helps to bring out all those lovely flavors!
3. Leave to simmer. Pour in the vegetable stock, and season generously with a pinch of salt. Let everything simmer over medium heat for 30 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the carrots are easily pierced with a fork.
4. Blend. Next, pour in the coconut milk and the juice of the orange. Using an immersion blender or a high-speed blender, blend until you achieve a smooth and creamy texture. If you taste it and find it too sweet, a splash of lemon juice can balance it out nicely.
5. Serve. Lastly, serve your soup warm. Drizzle a little coconut milk on top, sprinkle with chili powder, and garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, or microgreens for an extra touch of brightness.

How to Store Carrot, Ginger and Coconut Soup for Later

If you have leftovers (which are perfect for lunch the next day), let the soup cool completely. Transfer it to airtight containers and store it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months. Just remember to leave some space in the container, as the soup will expand when frozen.
