Curried Carrot Soup with Noodles
Description
This soup starts by roasting sliced carrots, onions, ginger, and unpeeled garlic cloves with salt, cumin, and cayenne pepper, which intensifies the sweetness and adds a gentle char. The roasted vegetables are blended with vegetable broth and coconut milk into a creamy soup with bright notes from lemon juice and tang from soy sauce and rice vinegar. The spices add warmth and complexity without overwhelming the vegetables' natural flavors. Adding cooked rice noodles and green onions just before serving ensures the noodles retain texture. This dish can be served as a warming starter or a light main course.
Ingredients
- 5 cups carrot sliced
- 1 yellow onion sliced, or red onion
- 2- inch ginger peeled and sliced
- 5 garlic unpeeled, cloves
- 1 Tablespoon salt
- 1 Tablespoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 15 ounces coconut milk canned
- lemon juice juice from 1 lemon
- 2 Tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 Tablespoon rice vinegar or any vinegar
- 2 cups rice noodles optional, cooked
- green onion optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or use parchment paper, and spread carrots, onion, ginger, and garlic cloves onto it.
- Sprinkle with salt, cumin, and cayenne.
- Place in oven and bake for 25 minutes until carrots and onions are starting to brown.
- In a large pot, combine vegetable broth and coconut milk over medium-low heat. When veggies are soft, squeeze garlic from its papers and add all veggies to the pot along with lemon juice, soy sauce, and vinegar. Blend well with an immersion blender or regular blender. Add noodles and sliced green onions if using and serve.
Notes
- Add rice noodles only just before serving so they remain firm and do not become mushy.
- Roasting the vegetables enhances their natural sweetness and adds complexity to the soup.
