Ingredients

6 carrots, cut into thin rounds 600 g
1 onions, finely chopped 200 g
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 tbsp butter, unsalted 14 g
3 1/2 tsp curry powder 10 g
2 cups chicken broth 500 mL
2 3/4 cups water 700 mL
1/2 cup cream 15% 125 mL
1 pinch salt [optional] 0.2 g
ground pepper to taste [optional]

Before you start

A mandolin will make slicing the vegetables easier.

A blender or food processor will be very useful to purée the soup.

Method

  1. Prepare the carrots: slice them into thin rounds, finely chop the onion and garlic.
  2. In a pot, sweat the onion and garlic in butter over medium heat for about 3-4 min. Add the carrots and sauté a few minutes. Add the curry and cook 1 min with stirring. Add salt and pepper. Pour in the broth and water. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, cover and simmer until the carrots are tender, about 20 min.
  3. Purée the soup in a blender or processor, then pour it back into the pot. Stir in the cream and just warm the soup a few minutes. Adjust the seasoning and serve.

Observations

The soup keeps up to 7 days in the refrigerator or up to 4 months in the freezer. Cream should not be added before freezing, but later when the soup is reheated.

I would make it again but add more carrots and no cream. I found it takes away from the great taste of carrots.

Made it twice. It is excellent! Here are some tips: after it cooks, let it rest in the fridge for a day. I only put it through the blender the next day: it was delightful, tastier, and nicely thick. It doesn't need the cream, but it is smoother with it. Another tip: once in purée form, pass it through a strainer. Enjoy!

I regularly make this recipe, but I put less curry since it might be too spicy for me (3 tea spoons for 8 servings). I also add some flour (around 3-4 table spoons for 8 servings) at the same time of the curry so the consistence is thicker. I do not always add cream or milk, it depends on the thickness and the spicyness (it it is too spicy, add milk or cream).
