Ingredients

Scale

Fats and Oils

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 1 sweet onion, chopped
  • 3 carrots, peeled and cut into rounds
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ginger, peeled and grated
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, torn
  • Juice of 1 lime

Spices and Seasonings

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons red Thai curry paste
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander

Liquids

  • 2 cups vegetable stock
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: Add the butter and coconut oil to a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until melted.
  2. Sauté aromatics: Add the chopped onion and a pinch of salt. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions start to soften.
  3. Add vegetables and spices: Add the carrots, grated ginger, red Thai curry paste, cumin, turmeric, and coriander. Stir regularly and sauté for about 10 minutes until vegetables soften.
  4. Add stock and simmer: Pour in the vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until carrots are fully tender.
  5. Blend the soup: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth and creamy.
  6. Add coconut milk: Stir in the coconut milk gradually, about ¼ cup at a time, tasting after each addition until desired creaminess is reached.
  7. Finish and serve: Remove the soup from heat, stir in fresh lime juice, and garnish with torn cilantro. Serve hot immediately.

Notes

  • You can substitute butter with additional coconut oil for a vegan version.
  • Adjust the amount of red Thai curry paste to control the spice level.
  • Use fresh lime juice for best flavor.
  • For a smoother texture, strain the soup after blending if desired.
  • Serve with crusty bread or steamed rice for a heartier meal.
