Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 6 large carrots, peeled and chopped
- 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Juice of 1 lime
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- Optional: 1 small chili pepper, finely chopped for heat
Equipment
- Large pot or Dutch oven
- Chef’s knife
- Cutting board
- Wooden spoon or silicone spatula
- Blender or immersion blender
- Measuring spoons and cups
- Peeler for carrots and sweet potato
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables: Peel and chop the carrots and sweet potato into roughly the same size for even cooking. Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger.
- Sauté the aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 5 minutes until translucent. Stir in the garlic, ginger, and optional chili pepper, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add spices: Sprinkle in curry powder, turmeric, and cumin. Stir constantly to toast the spices for about 1 minute. This deepens their flavor and aroma.
- Add vegetables and broth: Pour in the chopped carrots and sweet potato, then add the vegetable broth. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Simmer: Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Blend the soup: Using an immersion blender, puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender and puree until smooth. Return to the pot.
- Add coconut milk and season: Stir in the coconut milk and lime juice. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Heat gently for 5 more minutes but do not boil.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro. Enjoy warm.
Tips & Variations
For a thicker soup, reduce the amount of vegetable broth or simmer longer before blending.
- Add protein: Stir in cooked chickpeas or lentils for extra heartiness.
- Spice it up: Use fresh or dried chili flakes for more heat.
- Change the veggies: Substitute sweet potato with butternut squash or pumpkin for a different twist.
- Make it creamy without coconut: Use cashew cream or almond milk for a lighter version.
- Make ahead: Soup stores well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freezes for up to 3 months.
