Ingredients

Vegetable Soup:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or coconut oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 celery rib, chopped
  • 2 pounds carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and chopped
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and minced (or 1 teaspoon ground ginger)
  • 1-inch piece fresh turmeric, peeled and minced (or 1 teaspoon ground turmeric)
  • 1 orange, freshly squeezed
  • 6 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth, plus more if needed
  • Salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons coconut milk, plus more for topping (optional)

Toppings (optional):

  • Coconut milk, red chili flakes, croutons, toasted pistachios
  • Fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, or basil

Instructions

  1. Saute Vegetables: In a soup pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, carrots, and sweet potatoes. Saute, stirring frequently for about 4 minutes.
  2. Add Ginger and Turmeric: Add the ginger and turmeric. Saute for another 3 minutes until the onions are translucent and the vegetables look bright and glossy.
  3. Add Liquid and Simmer: Pour in the freshly squeezed orange juice and the broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 20-25 minutes.
  4. Puree Soup: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If using a regular blender or food processor, puree in batches. Return the soup to the pot if necessary.
  5. Season and Serve: Season the soup with salt and pepper. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Optionally, add coconut milk and simmer on low heat. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with toppings as desired.

Notes

  • You can adjust the consistency of the soup by adding more broth if needed.
  • Feel free to customize the toppings to your preference.
  • This soup pairs well with crusty bread or a simple green salad.
