Creamy and rich, this soup can be made vegan with vegetable stock/water or with chicken broth. Perfect for entertaining or a casual family gathering, both versions are quite delicious and great to serve if you have different types of eaters in your family. This soup was inspired by a soup I had in Yosemite at Tenaya Lodge on Mother's Day, and it was so tasty that I came home and immediately designed a recipe that captured the creamy rich and light soup I had at that wonderful restaurant. Using baby carrots helps tp keep the soup sweet and avoid any bitter undertones.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out bland. I think I may have forgotten to add the salt.

This soup is a little too spicy for my taste, but I'm sure I can adjust the amount of ginger next time.

I'm allergic to coconut, so I substituted almond milk and it turned out great!

I'm not usually a fan of carrot soup, but this recipe changed my mind. It's so flavorful and creamy, and the ginger and coconut add a nice touch.
