Instructions
Heat the coconut oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add onions with a pinch of salt and saute for about 10 minutes or until the onions are very soft and sweet. Make sure not to brown them.
Add the garlic and ginger to the pot and saute for another minute.
Add spices and saute for another minute.
Add carrots and vegetable stock and bring to the boil. Once the soup is boiling immediately turn down the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes until carrots are really soft and easy to break with a fork.
Once carrots are cooked add coconut milk and lime juice and carefully transfer the soup into the food processor and blend it until the soup is nice and smooth. In a Thermomix it takes me 20 seconds on speed 9.
