Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until fragrant and the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped bok choy and sliced carrots. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. If using a regular blender, do this in batches and be cautious of the hot liquid.
- Stir in the coconut milk, soy sauce, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.
Tips
- For a spicy kick, add chopped red chili or a dash of sriracha to the soup.
- If you prefer a chunkier texture, reserve some of the bok choy and carrots before pureeing and add them back in after blending.
- This soup pairs beautifully with crusty bread or a fresh garden salad for a complete meal.
