Cut the carrots so they’re all the same size. This will ensure that they roast evenly in the oven. I like to halve the larger carrots lengthwise so that all the carrots end up being about 3 inches long and an inch or so wide. You could also use baby carrots in place of regular carrots in this recipe which would reduce the prep time even more!
You can substitute the coconut milk for heavy cream if you aren’t concerned with this meal being vegan. Use about 1 cup of heavy cream in place of the coconut milk and the flavors and texture will still be about the same.
If you’re reheating this soup at a later date, you’ll like need to add a splash of broth or coconut milk to loosen it up as it will thicken a bit as it sits. Also, don’t forget to add a moderate amount of salt after it’s reheated as well. This will boost all those amazing flavors and keep it tasting fresh!
