Recipe: Carrot-Parsnip Coconut Soup

This is a cozy and comforting fall soup that is thickened with coconut milk making it extremely smooth and creamy. You can top them with some almonds, roasted chickpeas, extra coconut milk, fresh herbs, or even some toasted bread croutons to complete the meal. The flavors in this are really simple so you can really taste the carrots and parsnips in it and if you’re like me you don’t need to blend it 100% of the way and leave a couple of nice chunks of vegetables for extra chew. Serve piping hot with some bread.
