Place the coconut oil in the heatproof cooking pot of a slow cooker on the stovetop over medium heat. Sauté the onions and carrots until they soften and are lightly browned at the edges, about 7-9 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger and red curry paste and cook for another minute until fragrant.

In batches, carefully transfer the soup to a blender to puree until smooth and stir in the coconut milk. Return the soup to the slow cooker and set to warm. Divide the soup into bowls and top with a drizzle of coconut milk, parsley, cilantro, peanuts and red pepper flakes.
