Rich in Vitamin A and packed with important antioxidants, carrots are the hero ingredient in this soul-warming vegan soup flavoured with ginger, garlic and chillies. Roasting carrots helps to intensify their natural sweetness. Use coconut milk to round out the flavours, and serve with plenty of warm crusty bread.
