Roasted Carrot Coconut Soup

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place the carrots on a baking sheet and toss with the olive oil. Sprinkle all over with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden and caramelized.

Step 2

While the carrots are roasting, heat the coconut oil in a stock pot. Once it melts, stir in the onions, garlic and ginger with a big pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the onions soften, about 5 to 6 minutes. Turn the heat to low if the carrots are not done yet.

Step 3

Once the carrots are done roasting, add them to the pot. Add in the stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and very carefully transfer the mixture to a blender. Cover the blender with a towel and blue until pureed. Pour the soup back into the pot and heat it over low heat.

Step 4

Stir in the coconut milk and the lime juice. Stir until the soup is warmed throughout. Taste and season with more salt and pepper as needed.

Step 5

Serve with a drizzle of coconut milk or cream, plus scallions on top.
