Vegetable broth (4 cups)
Coconut milk (1 cup)
Lime juice (2 tablespoons)
Fresh cilantro (for garnish)
Salt (to taste)
Black pepper (to taste)
Oil (2 tablespoons (for sautéing))

Instructions

In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the chopped carrots, coating them well with the onion mixture.
Add the vegetable broth to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for approximately 20 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.
Using an immersion blender or a standard blender, carefully puree the soup until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. If using a standard blender, allow the soup to cool slightly before blending in batches.
