Carrot Ginger Coconut Soup
Ginger cuts through the sweetness of carrots in this smooth coconut soup. It suits a light lunch when you want a bowl with a clear flavor rather than lots of toppings. Wait until the carrots crush easily before blending, and take the pan off the heat to blend carefully. Tender vegetables make the smooth finish possible.

FDA handling and storage conditions
Ingredient substitution
Do not replace the canned coconut milk with coconut cream by equal volume. Cream is more concentrated and thickens this blended soup differently; a dilution has not been established here.
