Sometimes, a warming bowl of soup is exactly what I crave. My Roasted Carrot Soup with Coconut is nourishing, flavoursome and simple to prepare.
Since commencing my food blogging journey, I have been delighted with the connections I have made.
I regularly communicate with bloggers worldwide, and although we haven’t met in person, I hold them very close to my heart. Does it Work? by Natalie is a blog I started to follow many months ago. Natalie is on a wellness journey and shares her findings, tips and tricks on her blog. Immediately, I felt a connection with Natalie, as we share many of the same values and beliefs.
Today I share with you my recipe for Roasted Carrot Soup with Coconut, which I have written for Natalie’s blog.
I chose the humble carrot as my star ingredient for several reasons:
- They’re a great pantry staple to have on hand as they make the ideal snack. When you roast the carrots, you will find they get a slight caramel flavour. This works beautifully in the soup and also my Sweet and Sour Carrot Salad;
- Carrots contain vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fibre;
- They provide the soup with an enticing colour;
- It seems like an appropriate choice for this time of year, with Easter just around the corner!
Much like my Roasted Carrot Hummus, I begin the soup preparation by washing, peeling and chopping my carrots.
I roast the carrots with a little olive oil and a sprinkling of salt. Once they are cooked through, I remove them from the oven. I saute
