Ingredients:
3 Tbsp coconut oil
1 large onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
2 1/2 Tbsp Ethical Table Currie Bowl Curry Blend
5 pieces celery, diced
1 medium yam, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
6 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
6 cups vegetable or chicken stock
Instructions:
Prepare the Ingredients: Dice the onion, garlic, and celery. Peel and chop the ginger. Cut the yam into 1-inch cubes and the carrots into 1-inch pieces.
Cook the Aromatics: In a large soup pot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Once hot, sauté the diced onions until they start to caramelize and become translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic, chopped ginger, and Ethical Table Currie Bowl Curry Blend, stirring to combine. Cook for another 3 minutes, allowing the spices to bloom.
Add the Vegetables: Add the diced celery and cook for another 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Then, add the carrots, yams, and stock to the pot.
Simmer the Soup: Turn the heat to medium-high and bring the soup to a gentle simmer. Once it starts to simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low and let the soup gently cook for about 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together. Stir occasionally.
Blend the Soup: Let the soup cool slightly before transferring it to a blender. Blend in batches, ensuring the soup is completely smooth. If necessary, do two batches to avoid overfilling the blender. Once blended, return the soup to the pot and heat it to your desired serving temperature.
Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro. Enjoy the comforting warmth of this delicious, fragrant soup!
This soup is a perfect balance of earthy, sweet, and spicy flavors that will leave you feeling cozy and satisfied. Enjoy it as a light meal or a starter to your main course!
