Two-step coconut & ginger carrot soup (Vegan, plant-based + gluten, nut & grain free) … so easy & tasty
Hello all !
This one was a total fluke, I had run out of veggies after a big cook up a few days ago & had a few onions & carrots leftover plus a cup of cauli florets in the fridge. My freezer is also running low, so decided to throw it in, boil & see what happened.
Well, it was really good ! So I re-cooked noting down all the ingredients & again it turned out well. So here you go, no oil, one-pot, boil, blitz & serve.
If you are not following a VLCD regime, feel free to replace the coconut essence with a cup of coconut milk. Great for Optifast intensive phase.
So as quickly as I threw this together, I’ll be off & I hope you enjoy it as much as I & family did yesterday for lunch !

Hi Carol ! It’s a flavouring available in the baking section of your supermarket. It’s in a small bottle and is very potent flavour wise !Cheers, Joni
