curried carrot and ginger soup

4 January 2023 by Dominic Franks 3 Comments

curried carrot soup

This nasty cough has been hanging around for close to 4 weeks so I’ve made this curried carrot and ginger soup which is packed with all the good stuff. Carrots are rich in carotenoids, which our bodies convert to vitamin A – vital for a healthy respiratory system. Ginger protects and heals the gut and eases stomach upsets and nausea.

It also tastes good too, which is kinda essential in a soup but I think what it does best is warm you up from the inside.  The combination of the ginger and the curry powder, even though it’s mild is like a warm hug in a bowl.  What more could I ask for?

for the soup

  • a little butter and olive oil
  • 1 medium white onion – peeled and chopped
  • 1/2 leek – chopped
  • 4 medium carrots – chopped
  • 3 medium potatoes – chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic – minced or grated
  • 1 thumb-sized piece of fresh ginger – grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon mild curry powder
  • 1/2 litre vegetable stock
  • 1/4 litre milk – I used skimmed but any milk or milk alternative would work
  • salt and pepper to taste

for the curried croutons

  • a chunk of bread – ripped into chunks
  • olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon mild curry powder
  • a little salt and pepper

In a large pan, melt a little butter and drizzle in some olive oil. Throw in the leeks and onions and sauté them for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.

Stir in the garlic, ginger and curry powder followed by the carrots and potatoes. Turn the heat to it’s lowest setting, place the lid on and let everything sweat together for 5 mins.

Pour in the stock and milk and let the pan gently simmer for 20 minutes, then turn the heat off and let it cool slightly before blending to a silky smooth consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Meanwhile, pre-heat your air-fryer to 180C for 5 mins.  Tear chunks of bread into a bowl, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper and the curry powder. Stir well until all the bread is coated. Place into the air fryer for 4 mins or until golden and crispy.

Serve in bowls with the croutons on top.

    Even though we are in the height of summer this is still a great soup. Great for when the kids get home from the pool hot or cold 😘
