This soup will delight you with its taste and saturate the body with vitamins. It can be served chilled, which is great for hot summers.

Ingredients:

• 2 kg of fresh carrots;
• 1 daikon root;
• 2 medium onion heads;
• 1 tablespoon each of ginger root and turmeric;
• 3 tablespoons of coconut (vegetable) oil
• 4 garlic cloves;
• ground coriander;
• 1 teaspoon of mustard and caraway seeds;
• 1 lime;
• 1 chili pepper;
• cilantro leaves.

Preparation:

1. Select a large heavy-bottomed saucepan and place over medium heat with 2 tablespoons of coconut oil.
2. When the oil is hot add the chopped onions and cook, stirring constantly for 5 minutes, until the onions are browned. Add ginger, turmeric, garlic, coriander and red pepper. Continue cooking for about another minute until a distinct aroma appears. Salt generously.
3. Add carrots and 8 glasses of water to a saucepan. Raise the heat and continue cooking until boiling, then cover and continue cooking at the lowest possible level. Wait until the carrots are soft, about 15 minutes.
4. Remove from heat and leave to cool. Mash the carrots with a blender and puree, strain and return to the soup. If it turns out to be too thick, then add water. Set the soup aside.
5. While the soup is boiling, at this point, the daikon should be boiled in salted water for 6 minutes until soft.
6. Reheat the soup over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, you should make a tarka: heat the remaining coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add mustard seeds, caraway seeds, and chili. Cook for 1 minute, until spices are fragrant.
7. Pour the entire contents of the pan into a saucepan and stir until everything is combined. Taste for salt, add if necessary.
8. Divide the daikon between the plates, which should be preheated and pour the soup on top. Garnish with cilantro and squeeze lime juice into each plate before serving.
