THAI-INSPIRED CURRY CARROT SOUP

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add carrots (and/or sweet potatoes or squash), onions (and/or shallots or leeks) and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 20 to 25 minutes. Add garlic and curry paste; cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add coconut milk and water (or broth); bring to a simmer over high heat. Adjust heat to maintain a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are very soft, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Puree the mixture with an immersion blender or in batches in a regular blender until smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids). Return to the pot, if necessary, and add lime juice and fish sauce. Serve hot or let cool completely before refrigerating for up to 4 days or freezing for up to 4 months.

• Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and a generous pinch of salt and cook until the onion is soft. Add the curry paste and onion powder and cook for four to five minutes until the curry paste is fragrant.

Transfer chicken to a plate. Add the onion to the casserole and cook it, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Add the garlic and gingerroot and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add the carrots, bell pepper, mushrooms, and salt to taste, and cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes more. Return the chicken to the pan, add the curry paste and cook the mixture, turning and stirring, 1 minute. Add the coconut milk, galanga root powder, lemongrass flakes, cumin, and bay leaf. Bring mixture to a boil, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes.

THAI CARROT SOUP WITH GINGER AND LEMONGRASS RECIPE

Steps:

• Pour 2 tablespoons oil into the bottom of a large soup pot. Add onion, garlic, galangal or ginger, lemongrass and fresh chili (or chili sauce). Stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add the broth and rice. Bring to a boil.
• Add the carrots plus the spices (cumin, cardamom, nutmeg). Reduce heat to medium, cover, and continue cooking for another 15 minutes, or until carrots and rice are soft; brown rice will take longer to cook, and will absorb more liquid, so you may need to add a little more broth.
• Add the coconut milk and stir. Remove from the heat and puree the soup in batches in your blender. Return soup to the soup pot.
• Rewarm soup over medium heat. Add the fish sauce, soy sauce, and lime juice. Taste-test for salt, adding more fish sauce instead of salt, as needed. If your soup turns out too salty, add more lime juice. Add more fresh chili or chili sauce if not spicy enough.​
• Ladle into bowls and sprinkle with fresh coriander and basil.

Stir in the carrots, salt, coriander, turmeric, and cinnamon. Cover and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until the carrots are soft but not mushy.
