- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Salt
- to taste
- Pepper
- to taste
- Fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon
- Coconut milk
- 1 cup
- Vegetable broth
- 4 cups
- Garlic
- 3 cloves, minced

- 1 large, chopped
- Zucchini
- 2 medium, chopped
- Carrots
- 4 medium, peeled and chopped
Instructions
- Warm the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté them until the onion turns translucent, usually about 5 minutes.
- Next, add the chopped carrots and zucchini to the pot. Sauté these vegetables for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Pour the vegetable broth into the pot. Add the fresh thyme leaves, and season the mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste preference.
- Raise the heat to bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat and allow the soup to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables become tender.
- Use an immersion blender or a countertop blender (in batches if necessary) to puree the soup until it's smooth and creamy.
- Stir the coconut milk into the pureed soup, and let the soup heat for an additional 2-3 minutes on low heat.
- Serve the soup hot, garnishing each bowl with a sprinkle of fresh parsley. Enjoy this comforting, creamy, and wholesome soup!
Tips
- For a richer flavor, you can roast the carrots and zucchini in the oven before adding them to the soup.
- If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup and mix it back with the unblended half.
