Instructions
Start by adding chopped onions into a large pot. Sauté with a small amount of olive oil on medium heat. (Coconut oil or avocado oil work too!)
When they start to become translucent, add in the garlic. Stir around for another minute.
Pour in the coconut milk, peeled tomatoes, carrots, chicken broth, salt, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Stir well and cover. Let the soup simmer for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, check to make sure the carrots are fork tender. If they're ready, use an immersion blender to create a creamy consistency. You can also use a high-speed blender - be careful with transferring it!!
Once it's smooth and creamy, serve hot!
Notes
Expert Tips:
Use an immersion blender to create a creamy consistency. It's one of my favorite kitchen tools because you don't have to transfer soup or sauce into a blender!
Top with fresh herbs, croutons, or a side of gluten-free bread!
It's important to sauté the onions and garlic before adding in the rest of the ingredients. They will burn easily so stir continuously and keep the temperature lower.
Don't bother peeling the carrots! I just give them a good rinse, chop, and throw them into the pot.
How to store leftovers:
You can freeze leftover soup in a freezer-safe airtight glass container. Make sure it’s cooled to room temperature before placing it in the freezer.You can also store leftovers for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. I use Ello containers because they’re freezer & microwave safe. To reheat soup, transfer it into a small saucepan on medium heat until it’s to your desired temperature. (You can also use a microwave!)** See full post for more information and step by step instructions!
