Scattered around these strips are small green slices of spring onions. Dark brown crispy bits are spread over the middle section, giving a crunchy texture look.

4 cups Vegetable Broth (low-sodium recommended)

Step 3: Add minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
Step 4: Stir in chopped carrots and cook for another 5 minutes to soften slightly.
Step 5: Pour in vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 6: Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth and creamy.
Step 7: In a small bowl, mix miso paste with a ladle of hot soup to dissolve, then stir this mixture back into the pot.
Step 8: Add coconut milk, soy sauce, and sriracha, stirring well to combine all flavors.
Step 9: Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 10: Serve the soup hot, garnished with chopped green onions and cilantro for freshness.

Tips & Variations

For a milder spice, reduce or omit the sriracha. Add more fresh ginger if you prefer a zestier flavor.
You can substitute carrot with sweet potatoes or butternut squash for a different twist on this creamy soup.
Use tamari instead of soy sauce to make the soup gluten-free.
If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer soup in batches to a regular blender and blend until smooth.

Storage

Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally to avoid separation. This soup also freezes well; thaw completely and stir before warming.

How to Serve

A bowl filled with a thick, smooth orange soup as the base layer, topped with thin strips of bright orange vegetables, likely carrots, scattered in the center. On top of that are dark brown, almost black crispy bits arranged loosely, with slices of fresh green spring onions peeking out through the layers. The dish is sprinkled with small white and black sesame seeds over everything, adding specks of contrast against the bright orange soup and toppings. The bowl is white with a thin, dark rim and sits on a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make this soup without coconut milk?

Yes, you can omit the coconut milk or substitute it with any plant-based cream or cashew cream for a similar richness.
