Smooth Carrot Ginger (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Base

01 - 1 medium onion, diced

02 - 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, finely grated

03 - 3-4 garlic cloves, finely chopped

04 - 1 tablespoon butter

05 - 1 tablespoon olive oil

→ Soup

06 - 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk

07 - 2 pounds carrots, cleaned and cut into small pieces

08 - Salt and pepper, as needed for taste

09 - 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth

10 - 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend

# Instructions:

01 - Melt the butter with the oil in a pot. Toss in the onions and cook, stirring often, for about 5 to 7 minutes until they soften and turn golden.

02 - Mix in the ginger, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Let it cook for another minute, stirring constantly.

03 - Drop the carrots into the pot along with the broth. Heat until it starts bubbling, then cover and lower to a gentle simmer. Cook until the carrots are fork-tender, about 20 to 25 minutes.

04 - Let it cool slightly, then puree until velvety smooth. Pour it back into the pot, mix in the coconut milk, and sprinkle in some salt and pepper to adjust the flavor.

# Notes:

01 - Ginger amount can be changed to match your taste.

02 - An immersion blender works well for this.

03 - Be sure to cool it before you blend to avoid spills.
