Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large stock pot. Add the onion and sauté until soft, around 5 minutes. Add the vegetables, spices, stock, and enough water to cover the vegetables in the pot, around 2 ½ cups. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer on low for 25 minutes uncovered.
- When vegetables can be pierced, remove from heat and let cool for at least 10 minutes. Use a food processor to puree in batches to create a smooth mixture. Transfer back to the pot. Add the coconut milk, stir, and reheat.
