Sweet potato and carrot soup made with coconut milk topped with crunchy chilli oil and coriander being eaten with a spoon.

Creamy Carrot and Sweet Potato Soup With Coconut Milk

This Sweet Potato and Carrot Soup With Coconut Milk is exactly the sort of soup I want when I need lunch to feel like more than just “hot orange liquid in a bowl”. It’s silky, warming, gently spiced and just interesting enough to stop it sliding into bland soup territory. If you’re after sweet potato and carrot soup with ginger, this one has enough zing, richness and personality to keep things very much alive.
