Ingredients
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Onion
- 1 medium, chopped
- Garlic
- 2 cloves, minced
- Carrots
- 4 medium, chopped
- Sweetcorn
- 2 cups (fresh or frozen)
- Vegetable broth
- 4 cups
- Coconut milk
- 1 can (13.5 ounces)

- 1 tablespoon
- Salt
- to taste

Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped carrots and sweetcorn. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until slightly softened.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the carrots are tender.
- Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, puree the soup until smooth and creamy. If using a regular blender, allow the soup to cool slightly before blending in batches.
- Return the pureed soup to the pot and stir in the coconut milk and curry powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro leaves.
Tips
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce while simmering.
- You can replace coconut milk with almond milk for a lighter version.
- If you prefer a chunkier soup, reserve some sweetcorn and diced carrots before blending and add them back into the soup after pureeing.
