by Olive Magazine

Ingredients

oil
1 onion, roughly chopped
1 clove garlic, roughly chopped
1 stalk lemongrass, woody outer leaves removed and chopped
a chunk ginger, grated
500g carrots, peeled and chopped
165ml tin coconut milk
600ml vegetable stock
1 lime, zested and juiced

Directions

Heat a tbsp oil in a pan and cook the onion, garlic, lemongrass and ginger for 5 minutes. Add the carrots and cook for another 5 minutes. Mix the coconut milk in the tin in case it has separated then take out 2 tbsp and keep to finish the soup. Add the rest of the tin to the carrots with the stock. Simmer until the carrots are tender then whizz with a stick blender until smooth. Stir in the lime juice and zest then spoon into bowls and drizzle over the coconut milk to finish.

Locavore do such great things and provide a beacon of hope pointing towards what could be a food system that works for all, people, animals and planet.
