Honey Roasted Carrot and Ginger Soup
If I had to eat one food for the rest of my life it would definitely be soup; After all with a bit of creativity you could eat a different meal everyday for months!
Take this soup for example I’ve been making this soup for a long time but had never thought of roasting the carrots first; it tastes entirely different from the version I make ( maybe even better, shhhhh).

Yes it does no problem
what type of coconut milk is best for this recipe> canned? starlight out of the carton from the fridge?
should you use sweetened or unsweetened coconut milk?
Hi Kim
we use can coconut milk it as a better shelf life for us but you can use both as long as it is milk and not coconut water, as for sweet or not your call if you are watching you sugars there is honey in the recipe so go without but if your not watching you sugar then use sweet. hope this helps
Just made this recipe – its lovely! Glad to get rid of my old bag of carrots. I tweaked (of course) adding some cumin and curry powder – really delicious, thanks for sharing.
