    Hi. Is the coconut milk the type in a can typically used in soups or the drinking kind that usually comes in cartons near the milk in the dairy aisle?

    Oh lala, Yummy! I love this soup. Used 2 T coconut oil instead of butter, (picky boyfriend) and a purple carrot from the farmer’s market so my soup came out a kind of burgundy color. So good. Big Thank You for this recipe.
