Carrot Ginger Soup (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Base

01 - 1 medium onion, finely diced
02 - 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
03 - 3-4 minced garlic cloves
04 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
05 - 1 tablespoon olive oil

→ Soup

06 - Salt and pepper, to season
07 - 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
08 - 4 cups of vegetable or chicken broth
09 - 2 pounds of peeled, chopped carrots
10 - 1 can (13.5 oz) of coconut milk

# Instructions:

01 - Warm the butter and oil in a large pot. Toss in the onions and cook them until they're soft and have a golden color, about 5-7 minutes.
02 - Sprinkle in the ginger, garlic, and Italian herbs. Let them cook together for a minute.
03 - Stir in the carrots and pour in your broth. Let everything boil, then cover and lower the heat to simmer until the carrots are tender, roughly 20-25 minutes.
04 - Allow the soup to cool a bit. Blend until silky smooth, then stir in the coconut milk. Taste and adjust with salt and pepper to your liking.

# Notes:

01 - You can adjust the amount of ginger to suit your preference.
02 - If you have an immersion blender, it works great here.
03 - Be sure the soup's cool before blending to avoid spills.
