1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups vegetable broth
1 can (400ml) coconut milk
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent.
Cook the Carrots: Add the chopped carrots, ginger, and turmeric to the pot. Stir for a minute until fragrant.
Add Broth: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer until the carrots are tender, about 20 minutes.
