Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 20-25 small carrots chopped (about 8 cups chopped carrots)
  • 3 cups vegetable stock
  • 1 cup full fat coconut milk (use light coconut milk, if desired)
  • extra coconut milk and fresh chives for serving optional

Instructions

  • Start the Instant Pot on "Saute" mode and let it heat up. Wait until the screen says "Hot" and then add the olive oil, onion, garlic, ginger, pepper and salt.
  • Saute for about 4-5 minutes, until the onions are soft and become translucent. Alternatively, you can skip the saute step to save time and simply add all the ingredients together.
  • Add the carrots and stir everything together well.
  • Add the vegetable stock.
  • Place the lid on the Instant Pot and seal the lid. Place the release valve on "sealing".
  • Cook for 12 minutes on "Pressure Cook".
  • When the Pressure Cook time is finished, carefully turn the release valve to "venting" using a long pair of tongs or another long kitchen tool so you don't burn your hand, arm or face. It's a good idea to do this under an exhaust fan in your kitchen, if you have one.
  • When the pressure has released, open the lid, add the coconut milk and blend with an immersion blender.
  • Serve while hot with a drizzle of extra coconut milk and some fresh chives (optional).
