  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

  4. Add the ground cumin, coriander, ginger, turmeric, and cinnamon, and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  5. Add the chopped carrots and broth, bringing the mixture to a boil.
  6. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in the orange juice and zest. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Using an immersion blender or regular blender, puree the soup until smooth.
  9. Serve warm, garnished with fresh cilantro.

Notes

Tip: You can swap out the carrots for sweet potatoes for a different flavor profile.

For a creamier texture, feel free to blend in a splash of coconut milk or cream just before serving. If you’re looking for a bit more heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce during cooking.

This soup stores well in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave. It’s also freezer-friendly, so you can enjoy it later by thawing and reheating.
