Photo: chopchop

Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 yellow onion, diced

1/4 cup fresh ginger, minced

4 cups chopped and peeled carrots (about 1 ½ pounds)

3 1/2 cups vegetable broth

1 cup orange juice

dash nutmeg

1 small (5.5 oz) can coconut milk

salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

In a large pot, sauté onions and ginger in olive oil until soft, about 3-5 minutes.

Add carrots, salt, pepper and vegetable broth and reduce heat to medium. Allow to simmer for about 40 minutes, or until carrots are soft.

Add orange juice at end of cooking and bring to near boil.

Remove from heat and puree.

Remove the thick cream from the top of the can of coconut milk. If you like, you can open the can from the bottom and pour the water out and scoop the cream from the bottom.

Garnish each bowl of soup with a dollop of coconut cream.

Do not buy “lite” coconut milk – if you wonder why not, read the ingredient list.
