This soup is a nutritious and delicious option for the colder months, packed with essential vitamins and minerals to help nourish both your body and mind.
In a Dutch oven, heat coconut oil over medium heat.
Add diced onion and ½ teaspoon of salt. Sauté for about 7 minutes or until onions are translucent.
While the onion is cooking, cut the carrots into 1-inch pieces, and discard the stems.
After the onions are translucent, add carrots and stir. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add 2 cups of water to the carrot mixture. Cover and bring to a boil. Once it's boiling, reduce the heat to simmer and cook for 20-30 minutes or until the carrots are softened and fork-tender.
Then, stir in the coconut milk. Let the mixture cool slightly, then transfer in small batches to a blender and blend until smooth. Use a separate bowl to keep the blended soup separate from the unblended mixture.
Return the blended soup to the Dutch oven, and add the remaining salt and curry powder. Allow the soup to simmer on low for another 10 minutes.
Serve and enjoy! If desired, top with toasted pumpkin seeds and drizzle with olive oil.
Notes
If you are not a fan of curry, you can skip the curry altogether - add a pinch more salt instead.Blend the soup for a few minutes in the blender, until the soup is very creamy. This is what will give your soup a nice, silky texture.Be careful when blending a hot soup! Blend in a few batches, don't fill the blender too full and always start the blender on the lowest speed and slowly increase to a higher speed to prevent splattering.Refrigerate in an airtight container for 3-5 days. It's important to make sure the soup is stored properly and that the container is tightly sealed to help prevent any spoilage.If you don't intend to eat the soup within 3-5 days, you can freeze it for later use. The soup can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
