How to Make Baby Carrot Soup With Cilantro And Curry
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Add 1 medium chopped onion and 1 pound of baby carrots. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of green curry paste and 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Gradually whisk in 4 cups of vegetable broth (or chicken broth for a richer flavor).
- Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.
- Carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender (or use an immersion blender). Blend until completely smooth.
- Return the pureed soup to the pot and bring back to a gentle simmer.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of chopped fresh cilantro.
- Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
- Ladle the soup into bowls.
- (Optional) Top each serving with a dollop of plain yogurt or coconut milk for extra creaminess.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
