Being in a hurry quite often means fast food, and while filling, the nutritional value isn't always top-notch. This is an option that's fairly quick, filling, and made from good – not to mention very cheap – ingredients. And it's yummy too!
Ingredients
3 – 4 carrots (depending on size)How to
1/2 onion, chopped
0,5 litre (about two cups) vegetable stock
the juice of 1 orange
1 tsp red curry paste
1/2 cup of whipped cream
a little oil
salt, pepper
Peel the carrots and cut them into pieces, about 1 1/2 inch long.
Heat the oil and let the onions slowly turn golden. Add the curry paste and let it fry for just a few seconds. Meanwhile, bring the stock to boil. Add the orange juice, the carrots and onion to the stock and let them boil until the carrots are soft (about 15 minutes).
Remove from heat and blend until smooth, using a stick-blender. Add the cream and blend it into the soup. Taste with salt and pepper. If needed heat it (but don’t let it boil; you want to keep the fluffy frothiness of the cream).
Serve!
I love carrot soup, this really makes me want to make some soon! I like to add coconut to it as well, so yummy!
ReplyDeleteAnd Ms. Betty -- I need to ask you for advice. My husband put an enormous water stain in our kitchen table and I don't know how to get it out. Might you know a trick?
