Steps:
- If you're using oil, heat it in a large soup pot over medium heat then add the onion and garlic with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and soft. For oil-free soup, use water or broth instead of oil.
- Add the ginger, carrot and spices, along with another pinch of salt and pepper, and cook for another minute, stirring constantly. If the pan starts to dry out, you can add a splash of water or broth.
- Add the coconut milk and vegetable broth and let it simmer lightly, uncovered for about 20 minutes or until the carrots are fork tender and cooked through. Remove the soup from heat.
- Use an immersion blender in the pot or carefully transfer the soup to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Pour it back into the pot.
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve right away with finely chopped cilantro, a drizzle of coconut milk and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.

Steps:
- Heat 1/3 cup of the coconut milk in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and salt and cook while stirring until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the ginger, curry paste, and garlic and cook while stirring until well combined and fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the carrots, 2 3/4 cups of broth, the lime juice, the 15 large cilantro sprigs, and the remaining coconut milk and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until the carrots are very tender, about 30 minutes. Remove the cilantro sprigs and puree soup in batches in a blender, using the hot fill line as a guide.
- Transfer the pureed soup to a clean saucepan and place over low heat. Stir in 1/4 cup of the chia seeds and simmer uncovered until chia seeds are fully hydrated and soup reaches desired consistency, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. (Note: If soup becomes thicker than you desire, stir in additional vegetable broth by the tablespoon to reach ideal consistency.) Taste and adjust seasonings, garnish with the remaining 1 teaspoon of chia seeds and small cilantro sprigs, and serve.
GINGER-GLAZED CARROTS
The easiest, yummiest carrots you will ever eat! The recipe is just so quick and easy to make. My husband grew up hating carrots, but he is willing to try anything. When he tasted these, he asked, "What in the world did my mother do to carrots to make them so bad? These are delicious!" He now requests them ... usually about twice a week.

CARROT GINGER COCONUT SOUP
Creamy and rich, this soup can be made vegan with vegetable stock/water or with chicken broth. Perfect for entertaining or a casual family gathering, both versions are quite delicious and great to serve if you have different types of eaters in your family. This soup was inspired by a soup I had in Yosemite at Tenaya Lodge on Mother's Day, and it was so tasty that I came home and immediately designed a recipe that captured the creamy rich and light soup I had at that wonderful restaurant. Using baby carrots helps tp keep the soup sweet and avoid any bitter undertones.

COCONUT-GINGER CARROTS
From Mollie Katzen's "The Vegetable Dishes I Can't Live Without." My husband gave me this book for Christmas, and this was the recipe that immediately caught my eye. Finally got the chance to make it, and it was as good as it sounds! I'm giving the recipe exactly as it appeared in the book, but noting my changes/experience in parentheses.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375. Spray a baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- Place a large skillet over medium heat. After a minute or so, add a tablespoon of olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
- Add the onion and ginger and saute for five minutes.
- Stir in the garlic and 1/4 teaspoons salt, and saute for another five minutes.
- Add the carrots and remaining 1/4 teaspoons salt, and stir until the carrots are coated with the onion mixture. Turn the heat down to medium-low and, cover the pan, and cook without stirring for another five minutes. (Katzen says five; I'd say ten, at least, unless you like really crunchy carrots.).
- Add the lemon or lime juice and the crystallized ginger. Cover and cook without stirring for another five minutes.
- Transfer carrot mixture to the prepared baking dish, cover tightly with foil, and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the carrots are fork tender. (I cooked for 20 and ended up with very crunchy carrots -- I think next time I'll go for 30 minutes.).
- Remove the dish from the oven, uncover, and sprinkle with the coconut. Return to the oven and cook, uncovered for another ten to fifteen minutes.
Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: Look for carrots that are firm and smooth, with no blemishes or cracks. Smaller carrots tend to be sweeter and more tender than larger ones.
- Don't overcook the carrots: Overcooked carrots will become mushy and lose their flavor. Aim to cook them until they are just tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
- Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a more pungent flavor than ground ginger. If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use ¼ teaspoon of ground ginger instead.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with other spices: In addition to ginger, you can also add other spices to this dish, such as cumin, coriander, or turmeric.
- Serve immediately: Coconut ginger carrots are best served immediately after they are cooked. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can cook them and then reheat them gently before serving.
Conclusion:
Coconut ginger carrots are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like them mild or spicy, sweet or savory, there is a coconut ginger carrot recipe out there for you. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give coconut ginger carrots a try. You won't be disappointed!
