Instructions
In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and carrots, sauté until translucent (about 5 minutes). Stir in garlic, ginger and turmeric. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Add drained pears.
Pour in vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20–25 minutes, until carrots are tender.
Use an immersion blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
Return soup to the pot and stir in coconut milk. Simmer for 5 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
