At @cbdsuperfood we love crunching on carrots as dippers for hummus or a simple snack, but there are so many ways to enjoy this hearty vegetable.

Carrots are high in carotenoids, which support the body’s wellbeing in a number of different ways!

Eating carrots consistently can help your body maintain low levels of cholesterol, which can in turn prevent future heart disease.

They are rich in vitamin A which can support your eye health by minimizing night blindness and potentially lowering your risk of age-related macular degeneration.

This Thai carrot coconut soup is a great way to reap the benefits of carrots and the possible benefits of CBD while enjoying a delicious, flavorful meal! We recommend making a big #selfcaresunday batch to enjoy for dinner so that you can also have quick meals to heat up throughout the week. Check out our recipe below to make up a batch tonight, and enter our @cbdsuperfood giveaway on Instagram!

CBD Superfood Thai Carrot Soup Recipe

Soup Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp regular coconut oil
• 1/2 chopped yellow onion
• 3 cloves diced garlic
• 1 pound chopped carrots
• pinch of salt and pepper
• 2 c. veggie stock
• 2 c. water
• 1/3 c. peanut butter
• 2 tsp sriracha or hot sauce
• 4 tbsp CBD Superfood Coconut Oil
• chopped chives

Tamari Almonds Ingredients:

• 1 c. chopped almonds
• 2 tbsp soy sauce

Tamari Almonds Directions*:

• Make first to use as topping

1. Preheat oven to 300˚F.
2. Once the oven is preheated, spread almonds throughout a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes until hot and slightly brown.
3. Remove from heat and mix hot almonds with soy sauce in a small bowl.
4. Return coated almonds to pan and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
5. Let cool completely and set aside.

Soup Directions:

1. Heat a large pot over medium heat.
2. Dice onion and garlic. Add to pot with 1 tbsp regular coconut oil. Add carrots and cook for 5 minutes.
3. Season with salt and pepper, then add veggie stock and water and stir.
4. Bring to a low boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 20 minutes, or until veggies are tender (test by cutting a larger piece of carrot in half — it should cut with ease).
5. Transfer to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and blend until smooth and creamy.
6. Add peanut butter and hot sauce to the blender and blend to combine until the mixture becomes even more smooth and creamy. Add CBD Superfood Coconut Oil.
7. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. For an optional touch of added sweetness, add a tbsp of maple syrup. For a spicier soup, increase the amount of hot sauce to taste. Top with tamari almonds, and enjoy!
