Ingredients
- 6 medium carrots
- 1 medium onion
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
- 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
- 3 cups vegetable stock
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Peel and roughly chop the carrots and onion. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until translucent.
Step 3
Add the garlic and ginger to the pot and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 4
Stir in the Thai red curry paste and cook for another 1 minute, ensuring it's evenly mixed with the aromatics.
Step 5
Add the chopped carrots, vegetable stock, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer. Cover the pot and cook for 20 minutes or until the carrots are tender.
Step 6
Turn off the heat and let the soup cool slightly. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, blend in batches using a countertop blender.
Step 7
Return the soup to low heat and stir in the coconut milk, lime juice, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If you want extra heat, add chili flakes.
Step 8
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve warm and enjoy!
