Amedeo’s Spicy Carrot Soup

Wholesome, warming – and 100% cruelty-free.

Serves 4.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 450 g carrots, coarsely chopped
  • 1 medium sweet potato, diced
  • 1 litre vegetable stock
  • 400 ml coconut milk
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tbsp chili flakes
  • A handful of coriander and toasted cumin seeds leaves to garnish

Method

  • Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan and add the onion, carrots, garlic and spices. Cook for a few minutes until the onions are soft.
  • Add the stock and simmer with the lid on for about 15 minutes.
  • Add the sweet potato and cook for a further 10 minutes or so until the vegetables are tender.
  • Stir in the coconut milk and simmer for 5 minutes. 
  • Take off the heat and allow to cool for a few minutes before pouring into a blender. Blend until smooth.
  • Serve in bowls and garnish with coriander leaves, dry-fried cumin seeds and chilli flakes.

Variant: in the autumn and winter I sometimes replace the carrots with butternut squash.

Buon appetito!
