Ingredients
  

1 tablespoon coconut oil

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1-inch piece of fresh ginger, minced

4 large carrots, peeled and diced

1 medium potato, peeled and diced

4 cups vegetable broth

1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon turmeric powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Juice of 1 lime

Fresh cilantro or basil leaves for garnish

Optional: Crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent and soft. Introduce the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the mixture is fragrant and the garlic is slightly golden.

    Incorporate the Vegetables: Add the diced carrots and potato to the pot. Gently stir to combine them with the sautéed aromatics. Allow the vegetables to cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to help them begin softening.

      Enhance with Spices: Sprinkle the ground cumin and turmeric over the mixture in the pot. Stir everything together thoroughly, ensuring the spices evenly coat the vegetables. Let it toast for about 1 minute to release the flavors.

        Add the Broth: Carefully pour in the vegetable broth, bringing the mixture to a rapid boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots and potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.

          Blend Until Smooth: After the vegetables are tender, remove the pot from the heat. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until it achieves a smooth consistency. If you prefer, you can transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender, ensuring it is blended until creamy and uniform.

            Incorporate Coconut Milk: Return the blended soup to the pot and place it over low heat. Stir in the coconut milk, making sure it is well incorporated and warmed through. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste. To brighten the flavors, add the freshly squeezed lime juice and stir well.

              Serve and Garnish: Ladle the warm soup into bowls. Garnish each serving with fresh cilantro or basil leaves for a pop of color and flavor. If you enjoy a little heat, feel free to sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes on top. Serve warm, and enjoy your exotic culinary creation!
