Steps:
- Put a large pot over medium heat and add the olive oil.
- Throw the carrots, onions and garlic into the pot and let them cook a bit, just until the onions start to become a little soft.
- Grate some ginger over the pot as the vegetables are heating up and stir that in too.
- Once the mixture starts to become fragrant (you'll smell that ginger as it heats up), add a few pinches of salt and pepper and pour in enough stock to almost cover the vegetables (should be between 4 and 5 cups of stock).
- Let this cook over medium-low heat until you can poke a fork in one of the carrot pieces and it falls apart.
- Remove it from the heat and puree while it's hot. This will help give you a nice smooth texture. Using an immersion blender is the easiest method, as you can leave the soup in the pot. If you'd rather use a regular blender you'll probably have to puree in batches.
- Once the soup is pureed and you can't see any more chunks, add the can of coconut milk (or milk/cream of your choice).
- Using the immersion blender again, blend the coconut milk into the soup. Using the blender again at this stage helps the texture to become very velvety. Add more salt and pepper, to your taste.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with a dollop of sour cream, Greek yogurt, coconut yogurt or a swirl of cream (or coconut cream), and a sprinkle of chopped parsley (if you wish).

BEST CARROT SOUP
This is a great recipe from a coworker, who got it from a Health Canada publication like 20 years ago. Kids like it, and if there are leftovers (rarely!) simmer it down and add a little butter and you have a great, healthy pasta sauce.

Tips for Making the Best Carrot Soup Ever:
- Choose the right carrots: Look for carrots that are deep orange in color and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid carrots that are pale or have bruises or cracks.
- Roast the carrots before pureeing them: Roasting the carrots intensifies their flavor and gives the soup a smoky, caramelized taste. You can roast the carrots in a 425°F oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich, flavorful taste. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even a combination of the two.
- Add some aromatics to the soup: Aromatics, such as onions, garlic, celery, and leeks, add depth of flavor to the soup. Sauté the aromatics in a little bit of olive oil until they are softened and fragrant.
- Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is pureed, taste it and season it with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream to brighten up the flavors.
Conclusion:
Carrot soup is a delicious, nutritious, and versatile soup that can be enjoyed all year round. It's a great way to use up leftover carrots, and it's also a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. With a few simple tips, you can make the best carrot soup ever.
