Curried Carrot Ginger Soup

This comforting soup is full of all the good things - loads of vegetables, warming spices, and white beans for extra creaminess and protein. Be sure to adjust the spice amounts to suit your preference.
Smarts: Soups are mostly water, so remember to taste it several times throughout cooking (including after blending) and add salt as needed!

Make

  1. Heat oven to 400F / 204C degrees.

  2. Toss broccoli with garlic, coriander, and cooking oil (portions for broccoli) and season with some salt and pepper. Spread broccoli out onto a sheet pan.

  3. Heat a Dutch oven with cooking oil (portion for soup) over medium heat. Add carrots and onions to heated oil along with a big pinch of salt. Saute for 5 to 6 minutes to get them started cooking (this step will also help develop flavor).

  4. Stir in ginger and garlic (portion for soup) and continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes.

  5. Add spice mix along with another pinch of salt and saute until spices are incorporated and very fragrant, about 1 minute more.

  6. Add stock and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cover the pan. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  7. While the soup cooks, transfer broccoli to the oven and roast until golden brown and tender, shaking the pan halfway through - 20-25 minutes.

  8. Stir beans into soup. Return to a simmer and continue cooking until everything is very tender, about 8-10 minutes more.

  9. Remove soup from heat and puree with an immersion blender until smooth. If the soup seems too thick after blending, you can thin it with some additional stock or water. Stir in lemon juice (portion for soup). Taste the soup and season with more salt, curry powder, lemon juice, or some black pepper if needed.

  10. When broccoli is finished roasting, toss with lemon juice (portion for broccoli).

  11. Warm naan according to package directions.

  12. Ladle soup into bowls and top with cilantro and yogurt. Serve with roasted broccoli and warm naan on the side. Enjoy!
