Curried Carrot Soup

Curried Carrot Soup will warm you inside and out with its fresh ingredients, gourmet flavor, and creamy texture. It's an easy recipe that comes together in one pot. You will love the silky smooth texture and rich flavor.

Curried Carrot Soup

Curried Carrot Soup is a hearty and healthy, thick, creamy soup made with simple ingredients but has so much flavor.

Featuring simple and fresh ingredients, it tastes gourmet with its smooth silken texture and bright and light flavors. However, this curried carrot soup is actually very economical.

This is not an authentic curry recipe, but it uses curry to help season and flavor the soup, which compliments the sweet carrots perfectly.

Do I Have to Use Baby Carrots?

Nope. Baby carrots are a little sweeter, so I like them in this recipe. However, you can also use normal-size carrots. Simply, slice two pounds of carrots into ¼-inch thick disks to prepare.

Do I Have to Use Cream?

I recommend using cream, as it will give you the richest, creamiest flavor. However, if you are dairy-free or just looking for something different, I recommend using coconut cream. Coconut cream is the richest of non-dairy alternatives and the sweetness goes really well with curry.

How to Blend Curried Carrot Soup

Blending this curried carrot soup is thankfully very simple. You can use one of three methods:

1. Blender - Depending on the size of your blender, you may need to do this in batches. Allow soup to cool slightly to prevent any burn accidents. Then transfer to the blender and blend until smooth.
2. Food Processor - I like this method a little better because food processors are usually bigger and don't require batches. Again, allow the soup to cool slightly to prevent any burn accidents, and then transfer to the blender and blend until smooth.
3. Immersion blender - My favorite method! Because it requires no pouring or transferring. After allowing your soup to cool a bit to prevent burn accidents from accidental splashes, simply place your stick blender in the soup and blend and move around until the carrot soup is smooth. I love this KitchenAid immersion blender because it comes with a guard to protect your pots from being scratched.

Curried Carrot Soup Toppings and Recipe Variations

Toppings are so often the best part! They give a dish more personality and fun! Try these ideas to spruce up your bowl.

• A drizzle of olive oil
• A swirl of cream or dairy-free alternative, such as coconut cream. Another delicious creamy idea would be a dollop of plain yogurt.
• Add some spice with crushed red pepper flakes or jalapeno slices.
• Fresh herbs such as freshly chopped parsley or cilantro
• Seeds or nuts are both pretty and nutritious on top of this soup. Try some pepitas, sunflower seeds, pine nuts, chopped cashews, or chopped peanuts.
• Croutons can add some comforting crunch
• Thin apple slices will create a beautiful sweetness and crunch
• Chickpeas can do double duty as a topping or mix-in. Try roasted chickpeas on top or canned chickpeas (rinsed first!) stirred into the soup.
• Noodles can stretch the meal a little without altering the flavor. Cook noodles before stirring in.
