Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup(1/2 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1 pound carrots, peeled, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 13.5-oz. can unsweetened coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons Thai-style chili sauce plus more for serving
  • Fresh cilantro leaves (for serving)

Preparation

Step 1

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add carrots and onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring often, until carrots are softened, 15–20 minutes. Stir in broth, coconut milk, and 2 Tbsp. chili sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are very soft and liquid is slightly reduced, 40–45 minutes.

Let soup cool slightly, then purée in a blender until smooth. Reheat in a clean saucepan, thinning with water to desired consistency; season with salt and pepper.

Divide soup among bowls, drizzle with chili sauce, and top with cilantro.

DO AHEAD: Soup can be made 3 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill.
