The Midwest will just not let its grip off this cold weather, and while I enjoy soup 365 days a year, I also want something light and spring-like this time of year.

Roasting carrots brings out a whole other level of flavor to this soup, so I suggest not skipping that part. While you could boil the carrots until tender, I promise roasting them will kick this soup up to the highest notch.

Ingredients-Apr-04-2023-01-31-41-2184-AM1. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Toss the trimmed carrots with the grapeseed oil and cook for 30 minutes, or until fork tender.

Plated Soup*Sambal Oelek is an Indonesian chili paste – the amount I used in this soup made this soup flavorful, but if you don’t like spice, either use half or eliminate all together. However, I do love the spicy kick to offset the sweetness of the carrots and coconut milk.
