Deliciously Creamy Carrot Soup
This creamy carrot soup blends sautéed shallots, onions, garlic, and Thai red curry paste with cooked carrots and vegetable broth, then purees the mixture to a smooth texture. Heavy cream adds richness and a silky finish. The result is a warmly spiced, velvety soup that balances sweetness from the carrots with a gentle heat from the curry.

Ingredients
- 8 medium carrot peeled and chopped
- 2 medium shallot sliced
- 1 medium white onion diced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 8 cloves garlic sliced
- 2 teaspoons Thai red curry paste
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 6 cups vegetable broth
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add in the shallots and onions and saute for about 5 minutes. Season with a little salt. Add in the garlic and Thai red curry paste and saute for just another minute or two to allow the flavors to be released.
- Add in the carrots and vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the carrots are soft, about 20 minutes.
- Use a hand blender to puree the soup, or puree in batches in a food processor or blender. After the soup has been pureed, return to a low heat and add in the heavy cream. Taste and add salt if necessary. Hold soup warm to serve.
