Carrot & Coconut Soup

Hi All,

Hope you're all having a great 2019 so far. Slowly getting back into a routine. So for this post, I am going to share a recipe for Carrot and Coconut soup. It Sounds like it wouldn't work, but, believe me,  its INCREDIBLE! If you're interested, then keep reading.

Ingredients :

5/6 Large Carrots (washed - no need to peel)

400g Can of Coconut Milk

1 Red Onion

1tbsp Smooth Peanut Butter

1tbsp Red Curry Paste 

3 Cloves of Garlic

Freshly ground Salt & Pepper (to taste)

1tbsp Coconut Oil

Method :

1. On a medium heat, add to a heavy bottomed pan the coconut oil. whilst the oil is melting, dice the onion and roughly chop the washed carrots. Add the onion to the pan until softened, and crush the garlic into the onions. occasionally stirring so the onions don't burn.

2. Pour in the coconut milk, red curry paste, carrots and peanut butter. Bring the mixture to the boil, then turn the heat down low, cover and simmer for 25-30 or until the carrots are soft. Stir the mixture occasionally.

3. Once the carrots are softened and the mixture has thickened, transfer the mixture into a blender. Blend until smooth, or if you like you soup a bit chunky, then blend until the desired texture. season with salt and pepper.

4. ENJOY!!

I had my soup with fresh bread, its a great combination of flavours. A yummy vegan winter warmer, one that I think everyone will enjoy. So please, try it out, tweak it, make it yours, and let me know in the comments if its something you enjoyed.

Thank you for reading, and until next time, happy eating.
