Ingredients
2tablespoonscoconut oil or extra-virgin olive oil
1yellow onion,diced (about 2 cups)
2poundscarrots,peeled and cut into ½-inch chunks (about 5 cups)
Heat a large pot of Dutch oven over medium heat. Add oil, onion, carrots, ginger, and 1 teaspoon salt; stir to combine. Cook until starting to soften, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Add curry powder and cook 2 minutes.
Stir in broth and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until softened, 10–15 minutes.
Purée soup using an immersion blender or in batches using a standard blender. Stir in milk and lime juice; season to taste with salt (I add about 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt).
Serve soup with cilantro, chopped peanuts and a dash of sumac.
Curry Powder: Use high-quality curry powder such as Simply Organic. If you have curry paste on hand, you can also use that. Or make your own curry powder by using 1 teaspoon each ground coriander, turmeric, and cumin plus a pinch of cayenne. Coconut Milk: Full-fat canned coconut milk is best here, but you can also use lite. Don’t need this to be vegan? Use 1 cup half-and-half or whole milk. Alternatively, You can skip the adding any kind of milk altogether for a less creamy, slightly more sweet soup.Vegetable Broth: low-sodium chicken broth will also work if you don't need this to be vegan.Ginger: if you love ginger, feel free to use a 1 ½-inch knob fresh ginger. I find 1-inch to be just right for most preferences.
