Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (carrots, bell peppers, etc.)
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by chopping the onion, mincing the garlic, and grating the fresh ginger. Wash and chop the mixed vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
- Heat the coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they become translucent and slightly softened.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot. Stir and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Sprinkle the curry powder over the onion mixture and stir to coat evenly. Toast the spices for about 30 seconds to enhance their flavor and aroma.
- Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Add the mixed vegetables to the pot. Cover and let the soup simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still retain some texture.
- Taste the soup and season with salt as needed. Adjust the seasoning to your preference.
- Remove the pot from heat and let the soup rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
- Ladle the hot soup into serving bowls. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or a drizzle of coconut milk for extra richness.
- Serve hot and enjoy your Golden Coconut Curry Soup Vegan with crusty bread or over steamed rice if desired.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, chop your vegetables and measure out your ingredients before you start cooking. This will make the cooking process smoother and more enjoyable.
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to use any mixed vegetables you have on hand! Broccoli, zucchini, or snap peas can add a delightful crunch and flavor to your soup.
- Adjust the Spice Level: If you like your soup with a kick, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce when you add the coconut milk.
- Enhance the Flavor: For an extra depth of flavor, try adding a splash of lime juice or a teaspoon of soy sauce before serving.
- Garnish Creatively: Elevate your soup presentation by garnishing with fresh herbs like cilantro or basil, and a swirl of coconut milk for a beautiful finish.
- Serve with Sides: Pair your soup with crusty bread, quinoa, or steamed rice to make it a complete meal that’s both satisfying and filling.
- Store Leftovers: This soup keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days, making it perfect for meal prep or quick lunches throughout the week.
