- 2 lbs carrots, peeled and chopped
- 1 large yellow onion, quartered
- 4 cloves garlic, unpeeled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk (canned)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
- Toss the chopped carrots, onion quarters, and unpeeled garlic cloves with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.
- Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Remove the garlic skins once cool enough to handle.
- Transfer the roasted vegetables, fresh ginger, and vegetable broth to a large pot or Dutch oven.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes to allow the ginger flavor to infuse.
- Carefully transfer the soup mixture to a high-speed blender. Add the coconut milk and lime juice.
- Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Add a little water if the soup is too thick.
- Return the soup to the pot, reheat gently if necessary, and taste for final seasoning adjustments.
Notes
- For an extra creamy texture without nuts, use the full-fat canned coconut milk, ensuring you stir the thick cream layer from the top into the soup.
- If you do not have a high-speed blender, blend the soup in batches and press it through a fine-mesh sieve for the smoothest result.
- Garnish with toasted pumpkin seeds or a swirl of extra coconut milk before serving.
