Notes

Tip: This soup tastes even better the next day, making it a great make-ahead option for meal prep!

For a deeper flavor, consider roasting the carrots before adding them to the soup. You can also substitute the coconut milk with almond milk for a lighter version, though it may change the texture slightly.

If you want to add some protein, shredded chicken or chickpeas can be great additions. The soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, and it also freezes well, making it a convenient meal prep option.
