This sweet and savory Butternut Carrot Ginger Soup has undertones of cinnamon, coconut, and cayenne pepper that create a symphony on your taste buds. It's the perfect way to warm up on a cool fall evening.
This soup is filled with nutrient-rich vegetables with Butternut Squash and sweet Carrots as the main ingredients. Not only do these veggies have an impressive amount of health benefits, it is an equally incredible delicious soup. An excellent amount of vitamin C, vitamin A, and potassium, and beta-carotene. This soup comes together in just 30 minutes. It is healthy, super delicious and 100% vegan!
What makes this soup so creamy and silky is the addition of coconut milk. I recommend using a coconut cream/milk (the canned kind) with a high fat content, to achieve richness and flavor to this soup.
