Equipment

Electric Pressure Cooker
immersion stick blender or blender

Ingredients

1 tsp cooking oil of choice, I used avocado oil
1 large yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 thumb length piece of ginger, peeled and chopped
3 cups carrots, peeled and chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
3 cups vegetable stock
1 teaspoon sea salt
⅓ cup coconut milk (plus extra for serving)
2 tablespoon chopped cilantro, to garnish
freshly ground pepper, to serve

Instructions

Press sauté, once the pot is hot add in the cooking oil. Once oil is hot add in the onions and cook until getting a little brown, mixing regularly. About 2-3 minutes.
Add in the garlic and sauté for 1 min.
Add in the ginger, carrots, celery and turmeric and give everything a good stir. Turn the pot off. Add in the stock and salt and stir again.

Pressure Cooker

Pop the lid on the pot and seal the vent. Using the 'Manual' mode, set the pot to 6 mins and press start. The pot will beep to indicate completion, quick release the steam and remove the lid.

Stove Top

Complete the instructions above, and cook on the stovetop for 30-40 mins, until carrots are cooked through and tender.

Slow Cooker

Follow the instructions above and cook in the slow cooker on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours.
Use an immersion blender or ordinary blender to blend the soup until smooth. Add in the coconut milk and some freshly ground black pepper and give it another quick blend. Pop back into the pot and set to 'keep warm' until ready to serve, or serve straight away with a swirl of coconut milk and a sprinkle of cilantro. Freezes well.

Notes

Substitutions

If you don't have coconut milk you can sub in:

plant-based milk of choice (cashew works well)
cow's milk (note: will no longer be vegan and dairy-free)
heavy cream for something a little bit more indulgent

To Freeze

Allow the soup to cool completely, transfer to glass or plastic freezer-friendly containers or jars in individual serving sizes (be sure to leave enough room in the jar for expansion), and freeze for up to 3 months.
