Carrot Ginger Soup with curry yogurt crema

Who doesn’t love soup? I know I do and now that I can make them I enjoy them even more. Yes you read that right “now that I can make them” it was my 2020 goal which I accomplished. When I first started I couldn’t get the right consitancy but after a few fails I finally accomplished the art of making soup. Cooking is its own art my friends and its the only “art” I can say Im really good at. Be sure to tag me if you try this recipe, I’d love to see what you guys come up with. #cookitkelly_ @cookitkelly_

Servings: 4 bowls Cook time: 30mins Prep time: 1hr

Ingredients

• Carrot 8Lg
• Onion 1/2cup
• Shallots 1/2
• Garlic 3 cloves
• Ginger 4tablespoon
• Salt to taste
• Pepper to taste
• Cumin 1tablespoon
• Fennel seeds 2tablespoon (you can substitute for fresh)
• Veggie broth 3cups
• Coconut milk 1/3cup
• EVOO 2tablespoons

Curry yogurt crema: 2tablespoon greek yogurt, 1tablespoon curry, 4tablespoon water and dash of paprika.

Mix all in a bowl until a liquid like consistency and set aside to garnish the soup.

Garnish: Walnuts & cilantro

Directions

1. Start by chopping all your veggies, they don’t have to be in perfect or same size as you will blend it all together.
2. Heat your pot with the olive oil, once its hot add in the onions, garlic, shallots and all your spices and cook for about 5-8mins until translucent.
3. Add in your chopped carrots and cook for about 5mins, while you continue to mix all the veggies together. Add in your veggie broth and cover and bring to a high boil.
4. Boil the soup on high for 15mins and then simmer until the carrots are fork tender.
5. Pour everything into a blender or you can use a hand immersion and blend everything together. It should be a puree consistency, give it a taste and add more S&P or more fennel if needed. Trust your taste buds.
6. Pour puree back to pot and add 1/3cup of coconut milk cover and let it simmer on low for another 10mins.
7. In the meantime cut your cilantro & chop up your walnuts.
8. Once ready to serve, grab a bowl. Add in soup, drizzle the yogurt cream, add in the chopped walnuts and top it off with cilantro. (These are my recommanded garnishes, you can do your own. Maybe mint vs cilantro or example).
9. Enjoy!!
