In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, salt, and black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and translucent, about 8 minutes.
3 tbsp olive oil, 1 medium yellow onion, ½ tsp salt, Black pepper
Add the carrots and garlic to the pot and cook for another 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
1 lbs. carrots, 3 cloves garlic
Add the ginger, apple cider vinegar, vegetable broth, and curry powder. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
1 ½ tsp ginger, 3 cups vegetable broth, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, ½ tsp curry powder
Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. If the soup is too thick to blend properly, add half a cup of water to the blender and continue blending.
Transfer the blended soup back to the pot and heat over medium heat. Add the maple syrup and coconut milk and stir to incorporate. Simmer for 5 minutes.
1 tbsp maple syrup, 1 ½ cups coconut milk
Serve immediately, topped with optional garnishes. We recommend a squirt of fresh lemon juice, a sprinkle of salt and freshly ground black pepper, and croutons.
