Next, pour in the vegetable broth and bring the soup to a simmer. Let it cook for about 20-25 minutes until the vegetables are soft and fully cooked. Then, using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy.

Finish the soup by stirring in the coconut milk, adjusting the seasoning to taste, and allow it to simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
