Instructions

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
3. Stir in the chopped carrots, grated ginger, turmeric, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the vegetables evenly with the spices.

5. Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, carefully puree the soup until it reaches a smooth consistency.
6. Stir in the coconut milk and heat the soup gently for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring it does not boil.
7. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.
8. Serve the carrot and onion soup hot, garnished with fresh cilantro for a pop of color and flavor.
