Preparation
Start your carrot ginger soup with coconut milk by placing a medium-sized pan over medium-high heat.
Pour olive oil.
Once the oil is ready, add onion (photo 1).
Cook the onion until it has softened slightly, then adjust the heat to medium
Add the grated ginger (photo 2).
Once the onion has completely softened, add carrots and mix (photo 3).
Adjust heat back into medium-high.
Pour coconut milk and stock (photo 4).
Cover the pan with a lid and bring to a boil.
Adjust heat to medium-low and simmer until the carrots are cooked.
Take the pan off the heat.
Use an immersion blender to puree the vegetables (photo 5).
Stop when you get a soup with a smooth consistency.
Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Add vinegar (photo 6).
Place the pan back into medium-high heat, cover, and bring to a quick boil.
Transfer into bowls and serve.
Garnish your carrot ginger coconut soup with fresh coriander, if preferred.
Helpful tips
- Try to chop the carrots in identical sizes, so they all cook at the same time.
- If you don't have an immersion blender, a stand blender or food processor can also be used.
Make sure you give the soup enough time to cool before transferring it into the processor or blender.
Recipe variation
- Red onion. You can definitely use it instead of a yellow onion.
The key is to cook it until then softened before adding the carrots
