Featured Recipe: Hearty Spiced Carrot Soup
Olivia Ribas
4 people
5 minutes
20 minutes
25 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 1 pound carrots, peeled and chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 tsp curry powder
- ½ tsp ground coriander
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 4 cups vegetable broth (add more if you prefer a thinner consistency)
- Fresh parsley and chopped peanuts for garnishing (optional)
Instructions
- In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped onions. Cook until the onions become translucent and soft, about 5-7 minutes.
- Next, add the peeled and chopped carrots along with all the spices: salt, freshly ground pepper, curry powder, ground coriander, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder.
- Stir all the ingredients together well to combine, ensuring the carrots are evenly coated with the spices. Pour in the vegetable broth.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with the lid partially on, and simmer until the carrots are very tender. This typically takes about 20 minutes.
- Once the carrots are tender, carefully use an immersion blender directly in the pot, or transfer the soup in batches to a counter-top blender, and puree until smooth and creamy. Taste the soup and adjust any seasonings as necessary.
- Serve the hot carrot soup in bowls, garnished with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of chopped peanuts, if desired, for added flavor and texture. Enjoy this warming and nutritious dish!
