Sopa de zanahoria y coco al curry

Source
Curried carrot coconut soupServes: 6 to 8

  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 onion, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 6 cups carrots, unpeeled and roughly chopped (this required 8 medium-sized carrots for me)
  • 3 1/2 cups vegetable stock
  • 1 (15-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons freshly chopped ginger root
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Heat the coconut oil in a large soup pot and add the onions. Sweat the onions on medium heat for about 7 minutes. Add the carrots and cook for another 5 minutes. Pour in the stock and coconut milk. Add the ginger, curry powder and chili flakes. Put a lid on the pot and cook until the carrots are softened, about 10 or 15 minutes.
When carrots are soft, carefully blend the soup in batches in a blender (use a towel to hold the lid down firmly) or use an immersion hand blender and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with fresh herbs, and more chili flakes, if desired.
