Carrot Ginger Soup with Coconut Milk

Flavorful vegan carrot ginger soup with coconut milk is one of the creamiest and healthiest soups you can think of.

This coconut-based vegan ginger carrot soup is one of the simplest and most satisfying soups you could possibly make.

I mean, making soup is never particularly difficult, but this recipe is even easier to make than the average soup recipe.

All you have to do is chop some very few veggies and blend the soup when finished. Add a few more ingredients in between, and that's it!

And the result is a warming, comforting, and super healthy spicy bowl that you can have for lunch, dinner, or even transport to work in a Thermos bottle.

Ingredients

Carrots:

• This recipe is the perfect way to use up that opened bag of carrots in your fridge. Maybe you needed just a couple of them for cooking something else, and now the leftovers are staring at you every time you open the fridge.
• Well, this recipe is the perfect solution: it is easy and quick to make, it will allow you to use up all those carrots, it is healthy, and it will probably make you happy as well—happy that you have discovered such an easy and delicious carrot soup that you can make all the time.

Ginger:

• Fresh ginger is a must! Don't be tempted to use dried ginger; it will just not be the same.
• If you don't have any fresh ginger, it is better to change the soup's flavor by replacing it with 1-2 teaspoons of curry paste or curry powder to taste. If the curry paste/powder is very hot, use less of it.

Coconut milk:

• A pantry staple; in my case, I always have it in the house. It is the perfect ingredient when you want to cook something quick and delicious, such as soups, curries, and so on.
• Coconut milk is a very important ingredient for me when cooking vegan. We have vegan friends who visit from time to time, and if I have a can or two of coconut milk in the cellar, I can surely cook something really good with just a few vegetables and a can of coconut milk.
• Some rice on the side, and that's it: a perfect vegan meal to satisfy anybody. You could try this vegan zucchini curry, this potato pumpkin bake, or this apple and chickpea and apple curry.

Coconut oil:

• I think its flavor is the best fit for this vegan carrot soup with coconut milk. However, if you don't have coconut oil (the Amazon affiliate link opens in a new tab), replace it with any kind of oil.

Coconut chips:

• The unsweetened coconut chips (the Amazon affiliate link opens in a new tab) are meant to be the topping.
• They are optional but so delicious! Do use them if you can get them, but make sure you serve them separately. They should only be added to the soup just before serving so that they remain nice and crunchy.

You can serve the coconut carrot ginger soup immediately, or you can reheat it. It keeps well in the fridge for at least 3 days.

You can also freeze it. To serve, defrost in the fridge, pour the contents into a saucepan or soup pot, and reheat on the stovetop.
