Carrot Masala Soup Recipe

By: Barb Biagioli

Warm, spiced, and creamy, this soup is great for chilly fall nights. An equally delicious alternative to butternut squash soup, this bowl is a one-stop-shop for a family weeknight dinner or an inspired starter to your holiday meal. This soup touches all the flavor nodes – savory, sweet with a hint of spice. 

While this is a dish that warms the soul, it also has benefits for the body. Carrots are a fall staple that are a great source of beta carotene, antioxidants, fiber, vitamin K1, and potassium. The aromatic garam masala aids digestion while the turmeric adds an extra dash of antioxidants.

The recipe is great for doubling – use the leftovers for lunches or freeze for a cozy winter meal. It’s quick, simple and satisfying. Have it with a hunk of homemade bread, top it with toasted pumpkin seeds, or pair it with a seasonal salad.

 Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 30 minutes | Total Time: 45 minutes | Servings: 4-6

INGREDIENTS

• 2 tbsp coconut oil or olive oil

• 3 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 medium onion, diced

• 6 large carrots, diced

• 1 medium sweet potato, diced

• 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric

• 2 teaspoons garam masala

• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

• 4 cups vegetable broth

• 1 can full fat coconut milk

• salt + pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

 1.     In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, bring the oil and onion to a sizzle over medium heat. Cook until translucent, about 7 minutes. Add in the garlic, stir until aromatic. Add the carrots and the spices and stir all together, cooking for another 2-3 minutes.

 2.     Add in the sweet potato and stir. Add the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 25 minutes.

3.     Once the veggies have softened and soaked up the liquid, turn off the heat. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste. Return the soup to heat and stir in the coconut milk.

 4.     Cook for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. Adjust spices according to taste. Serve in mugs or bowls. Enjoy!
