Today I’d like to share another recipe out of my “go-to list” with you. One of those recipes I know I can always make because it’s delicious, easy, healthy, and budget friendly. I’m talking about spicy and sweet coconut & ginger carrot soup! You only need a couple of ingredients for this dish and it’s super simple to make. Let’s take a look!
Ingredients
1 kg carrots
500 ml vegetable broth
400ml coconut milk
1 big onion
2 cloves garlic
chunk of ginger (between 5 and 10 cm)
2 tbsp oil of choice
1 chilli pepper (or 1 tsp powdered cayenne pepper)
Serves 3 or 4
Dice the onion and garlic. Heat up 2 tablespoons of oil in a big pot, and sautée the onion and garlic. Clean and chop your carrots into evenly sized pieces. Add them to the pot and cook for 5 minutes. Peel and dice the ginger and add to the carrots. Add the vegetable broth, turn down the heat and allow to simmer for 15/20 minutes, until the carrots soften. If you’re using fresh chilli, chop it finely and add to the carrots at this point. Blend the soup with a handheld blender, then add coconut milk until the soup is nice and creamy. I ended up adding the whole can of 400 ml. If you’re using powdered cayenne pepper, add one teaspoon or however much you want now. Stir everything together well and your soup is done!
You can add a dash of lemon or lime juice to add a bit of acidity, and some yummy croutons baked in coconut oil to add a bit of crunch.
I don’t cook with Asian flavours often, but this coconut & ginger carrot soup is definitely something I make regularly. It’s so good! If you try this recipe, please let me know what you think :)
Lucy, I’m just getting into cooking and I’ve been watching your videos forever so I decided to check out some of your recipes. Made this soup tonight and it is the best soup I’ve ever made! Thank you so much for sharing. I wish you could self-publish a cookbook haha. Will continue to cook with your recipes <3
Eating the soup right now, and its amazing !!
Thank you for this recipe. I have tried several of your recipes and so far I have liked all of them <3 :) Keep up the good work
I just made this soup and I have to say it is fantastic! I am not a vegetarian, but I am trying out vegetarian dishes. I added some red lentils to get a little protein and that worked really well. Thanks for the recipe, will definitely make it again. :)
Glad you like it! Lentils sound like a great addition, I might just add those myself as well next time :D
Hi Loepsie! My boyfriend and I made this soup for dinner and it turned out amazing!
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe with us. I will definitely be making it again :)
Glad to hear you liked it! :D
Oh, I know this recipe already and loooove it! Only thing is that I peel the carrots because the skin leaves a bitter taste to the rest of the soup. That’s the only time I peel carrots though, usually I don’t mind.
