Female Nomads Curried Carrot Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat medium pot over medium high heat. Add olive oil, butter, onions and carrots and saute 5 minutes. Add 4 cups chicken stock, curry and cayenne, and about 1 teaspoon salt to the pot. Bring to a boil, cover and cook until carrots are very tender, about 15 minutes. Place pot on a trivet next to food processor. Process soup in 2 or 3 small batches until soup is smooth and carrots are fully pureed. Transfer processed soup into a large bowl as you work to make room for more soup in the food processor. Return completed soup to the soup pot and place back over low heat. If the soup is too thick, add remaining stock, up to 2 cups, to achieve desired consistency. Adjust seasonings. Place sour cream in a plastic condiment squeeze bottle or into a medium food storage bag. Cut a very small hole in the corner of the bag with scissors. Ladle soup into bowls and squirt a swirl of sour cream around the bowl from the center out to the rim. Drag a toothpick from the center of the bowls out to the edges, forming a spider web design on soup. Pile a few pieces of cut chives at the center of each bowl to resemble green spiders in their webs! Cool!

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Saute onion until tender and translucent. Stir in the curry powder. Add the chopped carrots, and stir until the carrots are coated. Pour in the vegetable broth, and simmer until the carrots are soft, about 20 minutes.
• Transfer the carrots and broth to a blender, and puree until smooth. Pour back into the pot, and thin with water to your preferred consistency.

Steps:

• Saute the onion in the butter for 5 minutes.
• Add the carrot slices, curry powder, powder chicken stock (or veggie stock) and 3 cups of water (or less water if trading in veggie stock).
• Simmer until the carrots are soft, 30-35 minutes. As soup is cooking, add the remaining 3 cups of water in half cup increments.
• Add salt and pepper, and adjust for taste.
• To blend, put half the soup in a blender or food processor. Blend at medium speed for a few seconds. Add the rest of the soup and the applesauce. Blend until smooth.
• Serve with fresh dill, mint, and sour cream sprinkled on top.

Steps:

• In a large, heavy pot over medium heat, warm 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the shallots and sauté until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the carrots, curry powder, and broth; increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until the carrots are tender, about 20 minutes.
• Remove soup from heat; add the orange juice. Let cool slightly, 10 minutes. Place an immersion blender into the soup and begin pulsing to break up the carrot chunks. Once the soup has broken down a bit, purée until smooth. (If using a regular blender, ladle the soup into the blender and purée in batches.) Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Ladle hot soup into bowls. Drizzle with additional olive oil, add a sprinkle of cilantro leaves, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• In 5-quart Dutch oven or soup pot, melt butter.
• Add onions, pepper and celery and sauté until vegetables start to brown.
• Stir flour and curry powder to taste into onion mixture until smooth.
• Gradually add milk, half-and-half, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper.
• Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until thickened; cook 5 minutes.
• Stir in carrots.
• Return to a boil; cook 5 minutes.
• Taste and add more salt, if necessary.
• Top with cilantro, if desired, and serve.

Steps:

• In a large heavy saucepan cook the onion and the carrots in the oil, covered, over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened, add the curry, and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the broth and 3 cups water, bring the liquid to a boil, and simmer the mixture for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the carrots are very tender. In a blender or food processor purée the soup in batches, let it cool completely, and chill it, covered, until it is cold. The soup may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled. Divide the soup among 4 bowls and sprinkle it with the chives.
