My husband has been battling a nasty winter chest cold and this Indian Carrot soup made the perfect lunch recently. One addition would be to serve the soup with pita bread. If you can find seasoned pita bread such as sesame or onion it would be delicious with this meal! This soup can be served hot or cold. It was the perfect to enjoy on a cold winter’s day and I imagine it would be equally as good chilled during the summer. If the soup is too spicy for your taste adding a little yogurt tames some of the spiciness. Good to know if your curry powder has a little kick!
Indian Carrot Soup
Ingredients:
2 tsps olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 tsp curry powder
¼ tsp ground coriander
¼ tsp ground cardamom
4 carrots, peeled and cut into one inch chunks
3 cups chicken broth
¼ cup plain yogurt
Directions:
In a medium saucepan, heat the oil. Sauté the onion until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the curry powder, coriander, and cardamom; cook, stirring for 1 minute. Add the carrots and broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until the carrots are tender, about 20 minutes. Strain the broth into a large bowl.
In a food processor or blender, puree the carrots with some of the broth. Stir the puree into the remaining broth. Serve at once or refrigerate, covered until chilled. Serve topped with yogurt and garnished with a carrot curl and mint spring. Makes about 4 servings
My husband said this soup felt great on his scratchy throat. It’s not a sweet soup but very satisfying and perfect for a cold winter’s day. I’m looking forward to making it again this summer, I imagine it would be equally as delicious served chilled some summer day.
