Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tbsp. butter
- 1/2 a red onion (chopped)
- 2 1/2 to 3 cups of chicken broth (or more for a more thin consistency)
- 1 lb. carrots (chopped)
- 1 tbsp. freshly grated ginger
- 1 tbsp. freshly grated turmeric (or 1 1/2 tsp. ground turmeric)
- 1 cup of canned coconut milk
- Sea salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add the butter to a large pot and melt over medium high heat. Once hot, add the onions.
- Once the onions are soft, add in the broth, carrots, ginger and turmeric powder (if using – if you’re using fresh turmeric, we’ll add that to the blender later. Too much heat can denature its health and beauty benefits).
- Cover the pot with a tight fitting lid and bring everything to a boil.
- Lower the heat to simmer and continue to cook until the carrots are tender when speared by a fork.
- Once the mixture is cool enough to handle, carefully ladle into a high powered blender and add the turmeric. Be sure to be careful! Blend the mixture until smooth, starting slowly and then increasing the speed.
- Once the soup is a very smooth texture, transfer it back to the pot and heat over low/medium heat.
- Stir in the coconut milk, taste for seasoning and add sea salt and pepper to taste. Serve as an entree or as an accompaniment to another dish.
