Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.
- Stir the curry paste into the sautéed onions and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Ladle the soup into bowls.
- Garnish each bowl with chopped coriander leaves and toasted almonds.
- 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.
