Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
• 2 teaspoons ground curry powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 2 pounds carrots, peeled and sliced
• 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the garlic, ginger, curry powder, cumin, and coriander. Cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced carrots and stir to coat with the spice mixture.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes, or until the carrots are very tender.

Step 6

Remove the pot from heat. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until completely smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender, but be careful with the hot liquid.

Step 7

Return the soup to the pot (if using a blender) and stir in the coconut milk and honey or maple syrup.

Step 8

Season the bisque with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste. Reheat gently if needed, but do not let it boil.

Step 9

Serve the bisque hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro.
