This chunky carrot soup with coconut milk is one of my go-to recipes. I make it when I don't want to do the groceries, I don't want to spend much time in the kitchen to prepare my meal and I don't really know what to eat. I kind of almost always have all the ingredients in my fridge and pantry. And what I love, is that while it cooks I can go do something else. Me? A lazy bird? Lol
This chunky carrot soup can either be served as a starter or a main dish (you will just have to adjust the quantities). I also sometimes put it in an isothermal container and take it to the office for my lunch. Hope you will enjoy it.

If I make a batch of this, can I save it in the fridge to reheat the rest of the week or is that not recommended?

Bonjour. Yes you can make a batch of this carrot soup and save it in the fridge for a few days. I often do it myself.
