Sometimes we need just a little comfort food! This simple soup served with some warm bread does just that.
Carrot Cardamom Soup

- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 2 large leeks, white and light green ends only, cleaned, trimmed, and thinly sliced
- 1/2 tsp salt

- 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
- 4 cups chicken stock
- ½ cup full-fat coconut milk
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Melt the coconut oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
