Method
Preparation
- Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat until it shimmers.
- Add the chopped onion, stirring occasionally until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Introduce minced garlic and grated ginger, sauté for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Sprinkle in turmeric, cumin, coriander, and red pepper flakes, cooking for about 1 minute.
- Stir in sliced carrots and diced sweet potatoes, coating with the spice mixture.
Cooking
- Pour in 4 cups of vegetable broth and bring to a gentle boil.
- Reduce heat to a simmer and cover the pot, cooking for 20-25 minutes until vegetables are tender.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or transfer to a regular blender.
- Stir in 1 cup of coconut milk, season with salt and pepper, and reheat gently.
Serving
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lemon or lime juice.
Notes
Use fresh spices for best flavor. Avoid rushing the sauté process to develop depth. Adjust consistency with broth or coconut milk as needed.
