Instructions

  1. Start by heating the oven to 425°F and lining a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Arrange the carrots on the prepared baking sheet, then drizzle them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss well to coat, then roast for 25–30 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the carrots are fork-tender and beginning to caramelize.
  3. While the carrots are roasting, warm the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
  4. Add the garlic, ginger, coriander, and turmeric, then cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the vegetable broth and reduce the heat to low, keeping the mixture warm until the carrots are finished roasting.
  5. Transfer the roasted carrots to the pot, setting a few aside for garnish. Blend the soup with an immersion blender until it reaches your preferred consistency. If using a regular blender, work in batches.
  6. Stir in the light unsweetened coconut milk, then serve topped with the reserved roasted carrots and fresh cilantro. Add crusty bread on the side if desired.

Notes

  • Tip: Cut the carrots into similar-sized pieces so they roast and caramelize at an even rate.
  • Storage: Keep any leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4–5 days.
  • Freezing: This soup freezes well. Transfer it to an airtight, freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
  • Make Ahead: The carrots can be roasted a few days ahead of time. Store them in the refrigerator until you're ready to prepare the soup.
