This Spanish-style spiced carrot soup is a gluten and dairy-free recipe made with just 6 ingredients. Carrots and onions are simmered with lots of smoked paprika providing a rich warming flavor that works perfectly with the creamy coconut milk. This soup is perfect as a winter warmer but also light enough in the warmer months as a small dinner or snack.
