Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 medium white onion or 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 2 garlic cloves or 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 3 medium 6 inch carrots, peeled and chopped (150 - 170 grams)
- 10 to 12 ounces vegetable broth
- 28 ounce can whole peeled tomatoes or diced tomatoes, drained
- 1 Tablespoon creamy almond butter
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, optional
- 1 to 2 Tablespoons red curry paste, to taste (see notes for substitutes)
- 1/2 cup canned coconut milk
- 1 to 1 1/2 Tablespoons arrowroot starch or cornstarch mixed with equal parts cold water or non dairy milk (see notes)
- Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
- Splash lime juice before serving
- Optional Toppings - fresh chopped parsley, red pepper flakes
Instructions
- In a large soup pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 5 minutes or until fragrant and the onions are lightly browned. Add the carrots (and additional oil, if needed) and cook over medium heat for another 4 to 5 minutes or until carrots soften.
- Add the vegetable broth and the diced or whole peeled tomatoes. Mix and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Stir in the almond, butter, salt, black pepper, cumin, cloves, ginger, optional onion powder, and curry paste. Bring the pot to a light boil then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Next, carefully transfer the soup into a high speed blender and puree until creamy. Alternatively, you can also use an immersion blender in the soup pot.
- Place pureed soup back in the stock pot. Mix in the coconut milk and slurry and cook over medium-low heat, stirring on occasion, for another 5 minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasonings, if needed. Add a splash of lime juice (optional) to the pot before serving.
- Serve and top with fresh parsley.
- Store in the fridge covered for up to 5 days.
Notes
Substitute Tips – Substitute red curry paste with 1/2 teaspoon curry powder and 1 Tablespoon chili sauce. I don’t recommend peanut butter as it will overpower the taste of the spices
Prep Tips – To prepare the slurry, whisk together the arrowroot powder or cornstarch into equal parts of cold liquid (water or non-dairy milk) until smooth in a small glass or bowl.
Storage Options – Freeze for up to 3 months.
