How To Make Coconut Curry Soup

First, gather your ingredients. For this vegetable coconut curry soup recipe you will need coconut oil, a medium onion, curry powder, vegetable or chicken broth, coconut milk, curry powder, and two pounds of root vegetables. A variety of root vegetables can be used for this recipe. I’ve used yellow potatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes, parsnips, and turnips.

Dice the onion and chop up the root vegetables. Then, in a large pot, dutch oven, or instant pot, melt the coconut oil over medium heat and sauté the onion until translucent.

Next, add in the root vegetables, curry powder, vegetable broth, and coconut cream. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Cover the coconut curry soup with a lid and reduce the heat to medium. Simmer the soup for 20-25 minutes or until the root vegetables are tender. Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup.

Lastly, salt and pepper to taste and add a few tablespoons of coconut cream on top of each bowl of coconut curry soup. Garnish with green onions or cilantro.

About The Ingredients:

• Coconut Oil – Great plant-based oil for sautéing veggies. Highly recommend getting good-quality coconut oil for your kitchen. Some great substitutes for coconut oil would be butter, ghee or olive oil.
• Onion – Onion gives the coconut soup base it’s fresh flavor. Other types of onion like red onion and sweet onion may be used also.
• Yellow Curry Powder – Curry powder is the star spice of this soup and gives it a unique flavor. You may use yellow curry paste, green curry paste, or Thai red curry paste in place of the curry powder.
• Broth – Use your favorite broth for this delicious coconut curry soup. I enjoy using vegetable broth, but chicken stock is a great option too!
• Coconut Milk – Full fat coconut milk is the best type of coconut milk for this curry recipe. It creates a cream coconut broth that’s perfect. Cartoned or light coconut milk is too thin and will not thicken the soup properly. Here’s the best coconut milk to use.
• Root Vegetables – You will need two pounds of root vegetables for this soup. I used a mix yellow potatoes, parsnips, and carrots.

Variations

• Use Thai curry paste, fish sauce, fresh lime juice and cilantro to make a thai coconut curry soup. Serve with lime wedges.
• Make a coconut curry chicken soup recipe by adding rotisserie chicken.
• Serve the soup curry style over white or brown rice and add fresh vegetables likes snow peas, red bell pepper and fresh garlic.
