Today on The Stay At Home Chef I'm showing you how to make
Deliciously Creamy Carrot Soup
This carrot soup is one of my favorite soups of all time.
It is so flavorful, so delicious, and who'd have ever thought
you'd get all of that from a carrot soup?
You are going to love this recipe!
To start you'll want to roughly chop up 2 shallots
Dice 1 white onion
and then roughly chop about 8 carrots
and I like to peel mine first
Once you have all of your ingredients ready to go
we're ready to head on over to the stove and make some soup
Melt 1/4 cup of salted butter in a pan over medium high heat
Once that's all melted we're going to add in
our shallots and white onion and let those saute for about 5 minutes
You want the onions to be soft and start turning translucent
before you proceed with this recipe
Season the onions with 1/2 teaspoon of salt
and add in 8 cloves of minced garlic
so that we can get some bold garlic flavor
and then the most important ingredient
2 teaspoons of Thai red curry paste
And we're going to let this cook until fragrant, about 1 minute
That Thai red curry paste is really what makes this dish
You can find it in pretty much any grocery store
Look for it in a little tiny jar near the Asian ingredients
Then we're going to add in all of our carrots
And then I'll pour in 6 cups of vegetable broth
and then bring this to a boil
Now you can also use chicken stock but I really hesitate
to add any meaty elements to this carrot soup dish
I want to keep it all vegetable based so I highly recommend
using a vegetable broth
Once it comes to a boil you want to reduce the heat to medium low
and let it simmer for about 20 minutes until the carrots are tender
Now once the carrots are tender we want to puree our soup
You can transfer this all to a blender and puree it
or, much more convenient, just use an immersion blender
You just get the immersion blender in there and puree until smooth
Once that is all pureed, pour in 1 cup of heavy cream
because I promised a creamy soup
and we'll stir this in
Now when you make a broth based soup, the amount of salt
that you add will depend on how much sodium was already in your broth
So now it's time to give it a taste
Take a clean spoon and dip it in
Then of course cool it off a bit......blow
Then we'll give it a taste
Just a little more salt
I'm just going to add in about another 1/2 teaspoon of salt
And stir this in and then we are ready to eat.
I'm just going to ladle up some of my soup into bowls
You want to serve this up hot
If you want to add a little bit of color, you can garnish it
with a little bit of parsley or dill or you can add in
a little lump of sour cream too
That's really pretty!
