• ½ Stick butter

• 1 Chopped onion

• 3 Cloves garlic

• 1 Can coconut milk

• 2 Cups chicken broth

• Salt and pepper

Directions

1. Over medium heat, melt the butter and then add carrots, garlic, and onion. Sautee for 10 minutes.

2. Add coconut milk and chicken broth and simmer for 30 minutes.

3. Blend cooked carrots in a covered blender (being careful not to splash the extremely hot liquid).

4. Add salt and pepper to taste, and serve.

TIP: For a little more spice - add a teaspoon or two of Madras curry or a little hint of cayenne as this soup simmers to add a little exotic dimension of flavor and a slight intensity of heat (or you can just enjoy it as is).
