Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon salted butter
  • ½ cup chopped onions
  • ½ pound carrots , peeled and chopped (about 1 ¼ cup chopped)
  • ½ teaspoon minced ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • ¼ teaspoon ground coriander
  • teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 cup low sodium chicken broth , (use vegetable broth if you would like this recipe to be vegan)
  • ½ cup unsweetened coconut milk
  • cilantro leaves , chopped & optional for garnish

Instructions

  • Melt the butter in a 2-quart saucepan on medium-high heat. Add the chopped onions, carrots, ginger, spices and a pinch of salt.  Stir and cook until vegetables are softened, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the chicken broth, there should be enough to cover the vegetables. Add a little more broth, if necessary.  Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer and continue cooking until the carrots are cooked through, about 10 minutes.
  • Using an immersion blender puree the soup in the pot.  Or, puree soup in a regular blender, then return soup to the pot. 
  • Stir in coconut milk and add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired

Notes

  • Evenly Chop Carrots: Ensure carrots are cut into small, uniform pieces to promote quick and consistent cooking.
  • Broth Variation: Opt for vegetable broth as an alternative to chicken broth for a vegetarian version of the soup.
  • Soup Thickness: Tailor the liquid quantity to suit the thickness you prefer for your soup; add more for a thinner consistency or less for a thicker one.
