This means you can cook, serve, and store the soup all in the same dish.

Can I make Carrot and Coriander Soup without coconut milk?
Yes, you can substitute the coconut milk with cream, almond milk, or another plant-based milk, depending on your preference. Keep in mind that the coconut milk adds richness and creaminess, so using an alternative may slightly alter the texture and flavor. If you're looking for a lighter version, feel free to use low-fat coconut milk.
How can I enhance the flavor of Carrot and Coriander Soup?
To elevate the flavor of this soup, try adding a squeeze of fresh lime juice or a pinch of chili flakes for a bit of heat. Garnishing with a dollop of yogurt or a sprinkle of toasted pumpkin seeds can add both texture and extra richness. Fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley also make a great finishing touch, adding a fresh, herbal note to balance the sweetness of the carrots and apple.
