Curried Carrot Soup

My fridge was empty, very, very empty. I was not interested in my go to food, eggs. Too many of them had killed the taste for me. I was uninterested in running to the grocery store -- too crowded on Fridays; it takes the joy out of shopping when I have to fight through the maze of people to get produce.

What could I make? I had carrots, onions, broth, spices. Google saved the day again. Curried carrot soup. Amazing. Simple, easy, fast, AND tasty. Six ingredients total. Probably six ingredients you have on your shelf. Minimal prep, it's a win win.

I caution you on the curry. I used authentic curry straight from the Indian grocery store. It was spicy! Adding salt helps. A BIG dolop of Trader Joe's Whole Fat European Style Yogurt also helped. If you use curry powder from the regular grocery store, it's probably on the mild side and you will be fine.

This soup is great with grilled cheese or quesadillas or toasted french walnut bread.

This soup sounds like a great choice if you want something simple and tasty. I would go with the mild curry since my stomach is compalining when I eat hot stuff.

I love that you made this with what you had on hand! Curry is one of my favorite spice blends and I'm sure it would satisfy my cravings very quickly. Delicious.

Pretty soup, Nirmala. And I always feel like a carrot soup is just 'wellness' in a bowl (smile).

I LOVE carrots but have never thought to use them as the primary ingredient for a soup. Sounds perfect to me!
