Vegan Carrot Coconut Soup

Looking at 1kg bag of carrots, I decided to turn it into a soup, using ginger, garlic, onion, carrots and coconut milk with a hint of chopped red chilli. This was a quick and easy lunch that was filling yet healthy and unintentionally a vegan soup. The coconut milk gives the soup a wonderful richness.

The vegan carrot coconut soup is mildly flavoured, you can punch up the flavourings with more garlic, ginger and chilli or even add a stick of lemongrass. I enjoyed the simplicity of the recipe, however, some days say when you have a cold, you may want to add more ginger and chilli, to open your airways. As with all food taste often and adjust the seasoning before serving.
