Ingredients
  

  • Carrots: Grab 6 large beauties that’s about 450g.
  • Ginger: A 2-inch chunk 5 cm should do the trick.
  • Olive Oil: Just 2 tbsp 30 ml will set the stage.
  • Onion: One medium onion diced up finely.
  • Garlic: Smash and mince 2 cloves.
  • Veggie Broth: 4 cups 940 ml. Store-bought or homemade, your call.
  • Coconut milk: One can 400 ml for that creamy touch.
  • Salt & Pepper: Because well, flavor.

Method
 

  1. First things first, get those carrots ready. A good wash, a quick peel, and chop them up.
  2. Peel and slice the ginger next.
  3. Fire up a big pot and warm up the olive oil, medium heat should do.
  4. Onion’s turn to shine! Sauté until they’re all soft and clear. That’s about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Toss in that garlic and ginger combo, stirring and letting them hang out for about 2 minutes.
  6. Carrots join the party now. Stir and let them get acquainted for 5 minutes.
  7. In goes the vegetable broth. Throw in salt and pepper as you feel right.
  8. Once it starts boiling, take it down a notch. Let it all simmer for about 20 minutes. Those carrots should be nice and tender by then.
  9. Turn off the heat and blend until it’s all smooth. If you’ve got a hand blender, perfect. Otherwise, use whatever blender you’ve got on hand.
  10. Now, stir in that creamy coconut milk and warm it up again for 5 more minutes on low heat.
  11. Quick taste check! Adjust anything if you need to.

Notes

  • Want a bit more zing? Add a pinch of chili flakes when you’re sautéing.
  • Not a fan of coconut milk? Try almond or even oat milk. It’s all good.
  • Leftovers? Seal it in a container and it should be good in the fridge for 3 days.
