Carrot- Ginger- Coconut Soup

Ingredients

• 2-3 Tbl Garlic infused coconut oil

• 9 Cups sliced Carrots (roasting optional)

• 2 inches Ginger (sliced or grated)

• 2 Tbl Minced Garlic

• 1/2- 1 tsp Turmeric

• 1/2 tsp Cinnamon

• 4 Cups Vegetable Stock (unsalted)

• 1 Cup Coconut milk (or non dairy milk of choice)

• Salt to taste

Method

1. Heat the garlic oil in a pot on medium high heat, then add the garlic, ginger, turmeric and cinnamon. Stir frequently until fragrant then, add the carrots and stir to combine with the garlic and ginger spices. Note: You can roast your carrots beforehand with coconut oil and spices, then add to your pot with liquids, simmer then blend. This method can enhance the flavour profile of the soup. (I was short on time so I skipped this step).

2. Pour in the vegetable stock, give it a stir then cover and reduce your heat to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes until the carrots are tender.

3. Turn off the heat and blend with an immersion blender (or transfer to a blender) blending until everything is smooth and creamy.

4. Serve with a generous topping of Coconut Pecan Clusters and Crispy 'Bacon' and a drizzle.of chilli oil. See below for the recipe.
