Carrot, Bell Pepper and Coconut Milk Soup


  • Author: Sara Ghedina
  • Yield: Serves 4

Description

Creamy and refreshing, this soup is reminiscent of Thai cuisine.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb carrots, peeled and ends removed
  • 1 yellow bell pepper
  • 1 thick slice day-old country bread, cut in bite-size pieces (about 1 cup)
  • 1/2 red onion
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar 
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tbsp grated ginger
  • 3/4 cup coconut milk
  • 1 to 3 cups of water
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Clean the bell pepper, discard the seeds and the white parts, and cut it in chunks. Slice the carrots and set them aside.
  2. In a small bowl, soak the bread with the apple cider vinegar to soften it.
  3. Heat the coconut oil in a large pan, slice the onion and the garlic cloves, and sauté them for a few minutes until golden. Add carrots and cook for 5 minutes, then add the bell pepper, season with salt and pepper and cook for another 12-15 minutes until all vegetables are tender. Add some water if necessary to avoid burning. Remove from heat and let it cool off.
