Equipment

stick blender
large stock pot

Ingredients

3 Carrots
1 White Onion
3 cloves garlic minced
1 inch Piece of Fresh Ginger finely grated
2 inch Piece of fresh Turmeric finely grated
4 cups (950ml) Vegetable Stock
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Canned Coconut Milk (for topping)
Black Sesame Seeds (for topping)

Instructions

Dice the onion and carrot into small chunks (no need to be precise as everything will be blended at the end), and grate the ginger and turmeric finely.
Heat a small amount of olive oil in the bottom of a large stock pot and saute the onion for 3 minutes until translucent, then add the minced garlic, turmeric and ginger and saute for another 1 minute.
Next, add the diced carrot and saute for another 2 minutes. Then add the vegetable stock and simmer for 20-25 minutes until the carrot is cooked through and soft.
Use a stick blender to blend the soup until it's smooth, or transfer into a standing blender and blend. Stir in the lemon juice, then serve with a swirl of coconut milk and some black sesame seeds.

Notes

Let The Soup Cool. If you don’t have a stick blend and need to transfer the soup to a blender, let the soup mixture cool in the pan before moving it around. Blending vegetables for soup is much easier when everything isn’t steaming hot.

Swap Out Vegetables. Not a fan of carrots? No problem. Swap out the carrots for something similar, like butternut squash or sweet potatoes.

Make It Creamy. If you are craving a soup that has some more creaminess to it, add the full can of coconut milk into the broth instead of using it for just a drizzle.
