Ingredients

500g carrots, peeled and chopped
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground ginger
400ml coconut milk
1.2 litres vegetable stock
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Coriander leaves aor zaa’tar for garnish (optional)

Method

Preparation:
- Peel and chop the carrots, chop the onion, and mince the garlic.
- Measure out the spices: cumin, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, and ginger.
- Shake the can of coconut milk to ensure it’s well mixed.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Sauté Vegetables:
- Add the chopped onion and garlic to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they become translucent.
Add Spices:
- Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, ground turmeric, ground cinnamon, and ground ginger to the sautéed onions and garlic. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly to release the flavours.
Cook Carrots:
- Add the chopped carrots to the pot and stir well to coat them with the spice mixture. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Simmer:
- Pour in the vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.
Blend:
- Using an immersion blender or a regular blender (in batches), carefully blend the soup until it’s smooth and creamy.
Add Coconut Milk:
- Return the soup to the pot (if using a regular blender), and stir in the coconut milk. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavours to meld.
Season and Serve:
- Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with coriander leaves and/or za’atar if desired.
