Ingredients

    2.5 lbs of carrots, cut in large pieces
    3 medium onions, quartered
    6 cups organic chicken broth
    1 can light coconut milk
    1 - 3 inch piece of ginger root, cut in large slices
    salt and white pepper to taste

Directions

This recipe makes 12 1-cup servings or 6 large bowls of soup. Chop ingredients as directed and place in a large pot (except coconut milk which will be added later). Bring to a boil and cover, reducing heat to a gentle boil for 15 minutes or until carrots are slightly tender. Let soup stand for 10 minutes. Carefully transfer half the soup to a food processor and puree until creamy, adding coconut milk a little at a time. Transfer first batch to a clean pot and repeat process until all soup has been pureed. This only takes 5 minutes. Add in salt and white pepper to taste. Be cautious with the pepper as the soup takes on a spicy taste with only a little. Serve with a toasted, grain bread or protein item for a full meal.
