Heat olive oil in a large pot. Sauté onion, garlic, and carrot until they’re soft and smell like ambition.
Add cubed potatoes and corn. Stir them like you're stirring up gossip on a brunch table.
Sprinkle in smoked paprika, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Let it all get cozy and golden.
Pour in coconut milk and vegetable broth. Bring it to a gentle boil because we’re not savages.
Lower the heat, simmer for 20 minutes. Potatoes should be tender, not mushy like your last situationship.
Blend half the soup for creaminess, leave some chunks for texture. You’re not a smoothie.
Add lemon juice. Stir. Taste. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve hot with garnish and judgment-free seconds.
