Pureed Carrot Soup Recipe


Submitted by punkybrew

Makes 5 servings


Vegetarian (can be vegan), takes about 1 hour

Ingredients
1 lb carrots
1/2 onion
1 tbsp curry
1 tbsp cumin
1 tsp turmeric
3 cloves garlic
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
4 cups vegetable broth
1 tbsp grated ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
Directions
  1. Boil 1 lb carrots, cut into bite-size pieces, in water (I used a bag of baby carrots and didn't cut them).

  2. While carrots boil, in a separate pot add butter, olive oil, onions, garlic. Sauté on low until onions are tender/translucent. Add ginger to sauté for last few minutes (add earlier for less spicy soup).

  3. Drain carrots (okay if they are not totally soft) and put in pot with oil, etc.

  4. Cook about 5 min. Adding spices as you go.

  5. Add 4 cups of broth

  6. Bring to boil then reduce heat to warm/low and simmer until carrots are very soft

  7. Puree the soup (careful, it's hot!)

  8. Serve (great for dipping multigrain bread, too!)

  9. For vegan soup replace butter with vegetable oil or olive oil.
