      I’ll jump in here because I grew summer savory last year in my garden. It’s really easy to grow, and if you let it go to seed, you will have more than you bargained for. I have more than enough this spring. I didn’t know how to use it so didn’t use it, but I intend to try this recipe. Seeds are available in most seed catalogs.

    You don’t need to add coconut milk to make it creamier unless you like the taste of coconut.
    I put more than half of the carrot mixture into the blender and blend it longer than normal and it comes out extremely creamy but it will also be a bit thicker.
