Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 4 cups potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1.5 cups frozen peas
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the curry powder, cumin, and turmeric, stirring to toast the spices for 30 seconds.
Add the diced potatoes to the pot and mix well to coat them in the spices.
Pour in the vegetable broth, increase the heat, and bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let the soup simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until they are heated through.
Pour in the coconut milk and season with salt and black pepper. Mix well and let the soup warm through for 1-2 minutes.
If desired, use an immersion blender to blend part of the soup for a creamier texture, leaving some chunks for a hearty consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped cilantro (if using), and serve hot.
