03 - Add the sliced carrots, ground coriander, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes, ensuring the spices coat the vegetables.

05 - Stir in the full-fat coconut milk and fresh lime juice. Remove the pot from the heat.
06 - Carefully blend the soup until smooth and creamy using an immersion blender directly in the pot. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and process until desired consistency is reached.
