This Roasted Carrot Soup is super easy and cheap to make, plus it’s very customizable, I’m sure you’ll fall in love with this recipe. The sweet roasted carrots with the hearty lentils and the creamy coconut milk make such a great combo. It’s a mildly spiced soup with ginger, coriander, turmeric, garlic, smoked paprika and red pepper flakes, with an extra little crunch on top.

I got a little bit sick during Easter, so soups were my best friends the last days. I had my favorite Healing Veggie Soup, another simple red lentil soup, and this extra creamy roasted carrot one. Honestly, nothing can beat a nasty sickness like a good warm soup, it’s like magic.

It looks thick, creamy and so good with all the warm spices and coconut cream.
Thank you, Angie 🙂
Carrot lentil coconut soup is an excellent combo. I’ve tried something similar; this is a comfort kind of meal without extra guilt 🙂 Hoping you’re much better now.
Yes, I feel a lot better now, thank you, Ben 🙂
It looks great. I have a carrot soup planned, but next time I’m adding coconut milk because I think it will be great.
Oh yeah, the carrot-coconut milk combo is always a winner 😉
Yum. It’s nice that this is made of pantry staples and produce that lasts quite a long time (carrots, onions, garlic) when we aren’t going to the store often. The roasted carrots and spices really make this a strong flavoured soup. We enjoyed it!
Hi Alicia,
I’m so glad to read you liked the recipe! 🙂
