Description

Naturally sweet carrots take center stage in this smooth and vibrant Curried Carrot Soup. Sautéed leeks add delicate savory flavor, while mild curry and a touch of cayenne bring just enough warmth and spice to complement the carrots without overpowering them. Blended until silky smooth, every spoonful is light, comforting, and beautifully balanced. 

Finish each bowl with freshly chopped chives and a handful of crunchy croutons if you like, then serve it as a colorful starter or pair it with crusty bread for a simple meal. Easy to prepare yet full of inviting flavor, this sunny soup is a delicious way to brighten up the table.

Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons vegan butter
  • 1 large leek (white and light green parts, thinly sliced)
  • 1 1/2 pounds carrots (diced)
  • 6 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon curry paste (or 1/2 teaspoon powder)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • fresh chive or carrot tops (for garnish)
Instructions
  1. 1

    Add the butter, leek, and carrots to a large soup pot, and cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, stirring often.

  2. 2

    Add the broth, curry, cayenne, and salt to the pot and bring it to a boil.

     

  3. 3

    Reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook until the carrots are tender, about 15 minutes.

     

  4. 4

    Remove the pot from the heat and blend the soup until completely smooth using an immersion blender. If you don't have an immersion blender, you can use a classic blender in batches until the soup is completely smooth; cool it slightly before blending.

  5. 5

    Garnish with freshly chopped chives or a sprig of carrot top.
