Ingredients:

2 tbsp coconut oil
27g
1 onion
110g
1 tbsp curry paste
16g
7 cups carrots
900g
1.50 cups coconut milk
340g
1 tsp salt
6g
1.50 cups water
360g
1 lemon
60g
1/2 tbsp coriander leaves
1/2g
1.75 oz almonds
50g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Begin by peeling and chopping the carrots and onion.
- Juice the lemon and set the juice aside.
- Toast the almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown, then chop them roughly.
- Chop the coriander leaves finely.
2. Sauté the Onions:
- In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they become soft and translucent.
3. Add the Curry Paste:
- Stir the curry paste into the sautéed onions and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
4. Cook the Carrots:
- Add the chopped carrots to the pot and stir until they are well coated with the onion and curry mixture.
- Pour in the coconut milk, water, and salt.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.
5. Blend the Soup:
- Once the carrots are tender, remove the pot from heat.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until it is smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until smooth. Be careful with hot liquids.
6. Finalize the Soup:
- After blending, return the soup to the pot (if using a countertop blender).
- Stir in the lemon juice and adjust the seasoning with additional salt if needed.
7. Serve:
- Ladle the soup into bowls.
- Garnish each bowl with chopped coriander leaves and toasted almonds.
8. Enjoy:
- Serve the carrot soup warm. It pairs well with a slice of crusty bread or a side salad.

Tips:

- Cut the carrots into uniform pieces to ensure they cook evenly and blend well.

- If you prefer a thinner soup, you can add more water or vegetable broth to achieve the desired consistency.

- Toast the almonds lightly before adding them to the soup for extra crunch and flavor.

- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili flakes or more curry paste according to your taste preferences.

- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and a squeeze of lemon juice just before serving to add a burst of freshness.

With just a few ingredients, this simple carrot soup comes together to create a delightful and nourishing meal. The combination of sweet carrots, creamy coconut milk, and aromatic curry paste makes it a favorite in any kitchen. Whether you're looking for a quick weeknight dinner or a warm and hearty lunch, this soup is sure to satisfy.
