Coconut Curry Carrot Soup

Here at Remodelaholic we love all things home decor and DIY, but we also love RECIPES. While we will continue to share our latest and greatest remodeling projects we want to start sharing some really yummy recipes once a week. Enjoy the recipes and know that we are still Remodelaholics.

Crisp fall days and chilly winter nights are the perfect reason to cook a batch of this yummy coconut curry carrot soup. When the seasons change and the weather turns warmer, it’s also scrumptious served chilled. With a recipe as versatile as this one, you’ll certainly want to add it to your collection.

A good stock pot and blender are key items needed to make this carrot soup. This 12-quart Cuisinart stock pot (affiliate link) and Ninja Professional Blender (affiliate link) are both budget-friendly options that will get the job done with ease.

If you prefer a more simple carrot soup, omit the curry powder, garlic cloves and coconut milk from the recipe. Either way this soup is a great source of veggies (and your kids won’t even know it).

In our opinion, soup is always a good idea. Serve this coconut curry carrot soup with a big slice of bread for extra appeal. Now it’s time to get cooking!
