Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups carrots, chopped
  • 2 cups potatoes, chopped

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, warm the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until they become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in the chopped carrots and potatoes. Let them cook together for a few moments to meld the flavors.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil.
  5. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  6. Stir in the coconut milk, seasoning with salt and pepper to your liking.
  7. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until it’s smooth, or blend it in batches in a countertop blender.
  8. Serve hot, adding a sprinkle of fresh herbs for an extra touch, if desired.

Notes

For added flavor, consider adding spices like cumin or smoked paprika during the sauté stage. You can also toss in leafy greens like spinach or kale in the last few minutes of cooking for more nutrition and color. For a chunkier texture, reserve some cooked carrots and potatoes before blending and stir them back in afterward.
