Curried Carrot & Coconut Soup

Curried Carrot & Coconut Soup

This soup!!! Oh you guys, this curried carrot & coconut soup is so delicious! I have never had or made a carrot soup before but when I saw this Mark Bittman recipe, I had to try it. I have been craving coconut curry lately so it just sounded perfect. This carrot soup was fun to make, smelled amazing while it simmered, and tasted even better. I used chicken broth but you can make it vegetarian by using vegetable broth. I loved the curry and coconut flavor and the silky creamy texture of the soup. The fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro made this carrot soup shine and I absolutely loved it and it paired well with a harvest salad. I had the leftovers for lunch today and it was even tastier today. I will be making this soup again – soon!

How to Make Curried Carrot & Coconut Soup

Heat the butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, fresh ginger, cumin, turmeric, coriander, cayenne, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring often, for 10 minutes. Add the stock, making sure there is enough to cover the vegetables. Bring the pot to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat cover with a lid and simmer on low for 30 minutes, or until carrots are very tender.

Blend the mixture with an immersion blender very well. Add the coconut milk along with the juice from half a lime and puree with the immersion blender until silky and creamy. Side note: Add more stock or coconut milk if needed to reach your desired consistency.

Taste and season with additional salt if needed. Serve with lime wedges and fresh cilantro. Enjoy!

    1. Cathie,

      Thanks for letting me know. I have corrected the recipe. I add the lime juice with the coconut milk before blending at the end of the recipe.

    I made this. It’s fantastic! I substituted black pepper for cayenne. I didn’t have limes around; will definitely make this again. I used a real blender, due to lack of that spendy immersion blender. Thank you, Pam and also Mark Bittman.
