Recipe Summary

One Pot Dinner
Recipe Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound carrots (about 8 carrots), chopped
- 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced (about 1 inch knob)
- ½ onion, diced
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup (optional)
Recipe Directions
1. Sauté the Vegetables
Heat your Dutch Oven or a large pot over medium heat and add olive oil, sweet potato, and carrots. Sauté for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
2. Add Aromatics
Add the garlic, grated ginger, and onion to the pot and continue sautéeing for 2 to 3 minutes, until fragrant and the onion begins to turn translucent.
3. Add Liquids and Simmer
Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, then add the salt and maple syrup (if using). Stir to combine, cover the pot, and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the carrots and sweet potato are soft when pierced with a fork.
4. Blend the Soup
Use an immersion blender to blend the soup directly in the pot until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, allow the soup to cool slightly, then carefully transfer it in batches to a high-powered blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Recipe Notes
Storage: Store recipe leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 or 5 days. If you plan to freeze the soup, allow it to cool completely before adding it to a freezer-safe container.
Reheating: You can reheat the soup on the stove or in the microwave. If you freeze the soup altogether, allow soup to thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating. If you froze it in individual portions, you can microwave it straight from the freezer.
Substitutions
Broth: You can substitute the vegetable broth for chicken broth.
Sweet Potato: You can use a regular potato, though the flavor profile will be not as sweet and the color won't be as rich. It will still taste delicious though!
Coconut Milk: A plant-based milk like plain, unsweetened almond milk should work here, just note that the flavor will be slightly different and the soup may not be as rich. Regular milk can work here, too.
Fresh Ginger: If you don't have fresh ginger on hand, you can replace it with ground ginger. Start with ½ teaspoon of ground ginger and add more to the recipe if needed.
