Prepare the aromatics

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

4

Add liquids

Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth. Stir well to combine, bringing the mixture to a simmer.

Simmer with vegetables

Pro tip: Cut vegetables evenly for uniform cooking.

Finish the soup

Stir in the fresh lime juice and season with salt to taste. Remove from heat.
