Carrot Soup

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 lbs carrots, peeled and chopped (5 1/2 cups)
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onion (1 medium)
  • 3/4 cup chopped celery (2 ribs)
  • 1 Tbsp peeled and chopped fresh ginger
  • 2 tsp minced garilc (2 cloves)
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 6 to 7 cups vegetable broth
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 1/2 cup canned coconut milk or half and half
  • 1 Tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • Minced parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add carrots, onion and celery and saute 10 minutes.
  • Add ginger, garlic, paprika, cumin, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper and saute 2 minutes longer.
  • Pour in 6 cups vegetable broth, season with salt and pepper to taste and bring soup to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Let simmer until carrots are very tender, about 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
  • Remove from heat and puree mixture with an immersion blender. Stir in up to 1 more cup of broth as desired (rewarm soup through if needed).
  • Stir in coconut milk, honey and lemon juice (or add coconut milk swirled into individual servings).
