Set apart from the pack by a few noteworthy ingredients, this carrot ginger soup recipe is a warming dish we come back to again and again.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp. coconut oil or other neutral oil
  • 1 4-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1 small shallot, roughly chopped
  • 2 large garlic cloves, chopped
  • 2 lb. carrots, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1 tbsp. red curry paste
  • 2 1/4 c. chicken or vegetable stock
  • 1 (14-oz.) can full-fat unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp. fish sauce
  • Kosher salt
  • Zest and juice of half a lime
  • Chopped cilantro, for garnish
  • Fried shallots (optional)
  • Chili oil (optional)

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the ginger, shallots, and garlic and cook until soft and just starting to brown, about 4 minutes. Add the carrots and curry paste and stir well. Cook for 2 more minutes

  2. 2

    Pour in the stock, coconut milk, and fish sauce and season with a generous pinch of salt. Bring the soup to boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the carrots are soft. Add the lime zest and juice.

  3. 3

    Carefully transfer to a blender and blend until smooth. (You may need to do this in two batches.) Taste and adjust for salt and lime.

  4. 4

    Serve soup warm garnished with cilantro.
