Black pepper
Cilantro
Lime juice
Red chili flakes
Sesame seeds
Crushed peanuts or chopped cashews
Make it on Stovetop: Use a large dutch oven or heavy pot. Sauté the onions, ginger in some olive oil. Then add the carrots, spices and broth, bring it to a boil, then reduce to a simmer until the carrots are softened. Then transfer to a blender or use a hand blender to blend the soup.
