Curried Carrot Soup
Earthy with a hint of heat, this yummy soup is satiating and healing all in the same spoonful! Curry contains turmeric which is so good for us and is way more bio-available when heated.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoon Simply Ghee
- 1/2 large sweet onion; chopped
- 2 pieces ginger roots; peeled and grated
- 2 garlic cloves; minced
- 8 large carrots; scrubbed and chopped
- 5 cups chicken or veggie stock; homemade or store bought
- 1 tablespoon curry paste
- 1.5 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Redmond's Real Salt
- 1/4 cup cream or half and half – optional
- sour cream as garnish – optional
- chives as garnish – optional
Instructions
- Heat olive oil, 2 tablespoons ghee, onions and carrots in a stock pot. Sauté till onions are a little translucent.
- Add the ginger and garlic and sauté till you begin to smell the garlic.
- Add 4 cups of the broth (reserving 1 cup for later).
- Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium and cover. Allow to simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the carrots are very tender.
- Remove from heat and using an immersion blender (or put it into a blender – carefully) blend till very smooth. If a thinner consistency is preferred, add the last cup of broth slowly and blend till the desired consistency.
- Adjust seasoning and add a warm cup of milk or cream to the soup. Add the last tablespoon of ghee and stir into finished soup till fully incorporated.
- Serve garnished with chopped chives and or sour cream. (optional)
- Serves 4-6. Good crusty, sourdough bread works for dunking.
