VEGAN COCONUT CARROT SOUP

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.
