Carrot Turmeric Coco Soup

Carrot Turmeric Coco Soup

Turmeric! My husband gave me a large bag of turmeric the other day, a bit random on his part, but appreciated on mine. I've been meaning to add more turmeric to my diet, both because I like the flavour, and for it's healthy properties. Honestly, I don't know if they are all true, but the medicinal and health benefits of curcumin are widespread: https://lyfebotanicals.com/health/turmeric-benefits/

I found a recipe online at Lauren Caris Cooks (http://laurencariscooks.com/warming-carrot-ginger-turmeric-soup/) and then made my own. Lauren's recipe uses coconut milk only as a topping, and also has fresh turmeric. Mine uses a whole can of coconut milk, so it's really creamy, and since I had no fresh turmeric, I used powdered, ground turmeric instead. So, I highly recommend you check out and try both versions, this is a warm, rich and delicious soup, perfect for the cold days ahead!

INGREDIENTS:

  • 3 Carrots (peeled and diced)

  • 1 White Onion (peeled and diced)

  • 3 cloves garlic minced

  • 1 inch Piece of Fresh Ginger finely grated

  • 2 tablespoons ground Turmeric

  • 4 cups (950ml) Vegetable Stock

  • 1 Lemon (juice only)

  • 1 Can Coconut Milk

  • Black Sesame Seeds (for topping)

Heat a small amount of olive oil in the bottom of a large stock pot and sauté the onion for 3 minutes until translucent, then add the minced garlic, turmeric and ginger and sauté for another 1 minute.

Add the diced carrot and sauté for another 2 minutes. Then add the vegetable stock and simmer for 15 minutes. 

Add the coconut milk and simmer another 5 minutes until the carrot is soft and cooked.

Use a stick blender to blend the soup until it's smooth, or transfer into a standing blender and blend.

Stir in the lemon juice, and sprinkle black sesame seeds on top.

Serve hot.
