The warm season is peeking at us and what better way to keep cozy than warm soup. This carrot soup is the best you will ever have! It's dairy free, gluten free and oh so creamy. Perfect for a starter at dinner or even just a main meal because it is hearty and filling. Adding ginger and garlic takes the flavors to another level. Just like you know how much I love coconut, using both coconut oil and coconut milk makes it perfect for a Vegan diet. Most people do not like cooked carrots, so this is just perfect for flipping their taste buds.

Vegan Coconut Carrot Soup – FAQs
1. What ingredients are essential in this soup?

Both work well! Fresh carrots give a brighter flavor, while frozen carrots are convenient and just as nutritious.

Use full-fat coconut milk and blend the soup thoroughly for a silky smooth texture. Adding a small potato can also enhance creaminess naturally.

It’s mildly spiced with ginger and turmeric, but you can add chili flakes or fresh chili for heat if you prefer.
5. How long does the soup keep?
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
6. Can I substitute coconut milk?
You can substitute with almond milk or cashew cream for a different flavor, but coconut milk adds a rich, tropical creaminess.
