Ingredients

  • 4 cups carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk or cream (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 4–5 minutes until softened.
  2. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add chopped carrots and stir to combine with the onion and garlic.
  4. Pour in vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20–25 minutes until carrots are tender.
  5. Remove from heat and blend using an immersion blender until smooth, or blend in batches.
  6. Return soup to low heat and stir in orange juice, orange zest, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
  7. Add coconut milk if using and stir until fully combined and heated through.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, then serve warm.

Notes

  • Add a pinch of ginger for extra warmth and depth of flavor.
  • Roast carrots beforehand for a richer, slightly caramelized taste.
  • Swap coconut milk with regular cream or omit for a lighter version.
  • Add red lentils while simmering for more protein and thickness.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat gently and add broth or water if the soup thickens too much.
