Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 6 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
- 1 large potato, peeled and chopped
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped carrots and potato to the pot, stirring to combine.
Sprinkle in the curry powder and ground cumin, and stir well to coat the vegetables in the spices.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the carrots and potato are tender.
Remove the pot from the heat and allow the soup to cool slightly.
Using an immersion blender (or carefully transferring the soup to a blender in batches), blend the soup until it is completely smooth.
Return the soup to the pot if needed and stir in the coconut milk, salt, and black pepper.
Reheat the soup gently over low heat, ensuring it does not boil.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro if desired.
