So I had 1kg of carrots and they needed to be eaten, hence my attempt at a savoury carrot soup. In short, it turned out pretty bland when I followed the recipe (link below) so I had to improvise until it was deliciously tasty. Next time I will make it from scratch, recipe-less.
Ingredients:
Oil to coat the pan1kg baby carrots - sliced/grated
1 onion - chopped
2 tsp freshly chopped garlic
A pinch of cloves
3 cups water
5 tbsp coconut milk
5 tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp curry powder or a chopped chilli
1/4 cup whipping cream
Fresh coriander - for garnish
1 tsp Nando's hot sauce (may be too spicy depending on the chilli- do a taste check).
1 tsp salt
Method:
Fry onions and garlic in the oil and when translucent add the carrots, clove, curry powder and saute for a few minutes.
Add the water (the hotter the better) and simmer for 20min.
Add in the other ingredients and stir while simmering.
Taste and add in more ingredients if necessary.
Swirl coconut milk over soup served in bowls and top with fresh coriander from the garden (very easy to grow).
I got the original recipe here: http://funnfud.blogspot.com/2008/10/creamy-carrot-soup-recipe.html
Use at own risk.
