Steps
Prepare Vegetables
Peel and chop the carrots into 1-inch pieces. Finely chop the onion, ginger, and garlic.
Sauté Aromatics
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-5 minutes until softened. Add the ginger and garlic, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Simmer Soup
Add the chopped carrots to the pot and stir well. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the carrots are very tender.
Blend and Finish
Remove the pot from heat. Carefully blend the soup with an immersion blender until completely smooth and creamy. Alternatively, transfer in batches to a regular blender (be cautious with hot liquids). Stir in the coconut milk, salt, and black pepper. Heat gently for a few more minutes without boiling.
Serve
Ladle the hot soup into bowls. Drizzle each serving with chili oil and garnish with fresh cilantro.
Extra Tips
► For an even richer flavor, roast the carrots slightly in the oven before adding them to the soup.
► Adjust the amount of ginger and chili oil to your personal spice preference.
► Serve with a slice of crusty bread or croutons for a more filling meal.
