Hot Or Chilled Ginger And Turmeric Spiced Spring Carrot Soup Recipe

Step 1

Melt coconut oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Sweat the green onions, garlic, minced ginger, and pepper flakes for 1 to 2 minutes or just until glossy. Do not brown or develop color.

Step 3

Puree soup in batches in a high speed blender.

Step 4

If serving cold, chill soup for at least 3-4 hours or overnight.

Step 5

Divide soup between 4 to 6 bowls and place a spoonful of yogurt or drizzle of coconut milk in center of each and finish with chopped parsley or carrot fonds and a pinch of additional salt and freshly ground pepper if desired.
