Carrot coconut soup

This carrot coconut soup is one of my favorite recipes from our first cookbook. When I first made it, I wanted to stop working on the book and just eat this soup every single day for lunch. Luckily for me, I could! The recipe calls for 10 simple ingredients, and I make it like gazpacho, by tossing all the ingredients into a blender and whirring them into a creamy, refreshing puree. Like gazpacho, it’s meant to be served chilled, but you could just as easily warm it up.

Carrot Coconut Soup Recipe Ingredients

This carrot coconut soup is creamy, light, and super refreshing! Here’s what you’ll need to make it:

Add a splash of water or vegetable broth to get the blender going, and season the soup with salt and pepper to taste!

Carrot Coconut Soup Serving Suggestions

Puree this carrot coconut soup until it’s smooth and velvety. Then, pour it into a soup pot over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until it’s warmed through. If you prefer a cool soup, chill it for at least 4 hours to allow the flavors to develop. Either way, don’t skip the garnishes. I like to top mine with cilantro, microgreens, and/or mint for extra fresh flavor. Then, I finish it with toasted pepitas and hemp seeds for crunch.

To make this easy carrot soup a full meal, serve it with a side of avocado toast or a hearty salad like this kale salad. Its vibrant carrot ginger dressing pairs wonderfully with this soup!

Carrot Coconut Soup

  PrintPrep time 15 minsTotal time 15 mins This carrot coconut soup is best made with a bunch of vibrant local carrots, but if you can't get your hands on some, it's still delicious. I like it cold in the summer and warm in the fall & winter.Author: Recipe type: Main dish, soupServes: 4IngredientsInstructions
  • Prepare the lemongrass by cutting off the root end and tough upper stem of the stalk. Remove the first one or two layers of outer leaves and fin ely chop the tender, aromatic part of the lemongrass.
  • Using a high-speed blender, combine the lemongrass, carrots, coconut milk, garlic, olive oil, sherry vinegar, red curry paste, water, salt and pepper. Blend until smooth. If you're not using a high-speed blender like a Vitamix, strain the soup (if desired for texture) and blend again until completely smooth.
  • Chill for at least 4 hours. If the soup thickens in the fridge, stir in a little more cold water. Alternatively, you can serve the soup warm by gently heating it in a saucepan. Season to taste with more salt and pepper.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and serve with desired garnishes.
