Curried Carrot Soup

So, this curried carrot soup was developed for many reasons, but mainly due to the fact we had NO onions in the house – this was super strange. Allen usually tells me off for always buying a bag of onions or two whenever I go to the store. We always have a ridiculous amount of onions rolling around the kitchen!

So, in the morning, I had got this idea in my head for a soup, that (as most of my soups do) was going to start with onions! Anyway, after I began breathing again…what was created was so so delicious that the next day I went on to make other soups without having the foundation of onions! This is a new revelation!! … to me anyway!

(disclaimer – i still LOVE onions and will continue to use them in most things when we have them in the house!)

This curried carrot soup is the perfect amount of sweet, spicy & warming. Perfect for warding off any colds or flu’s that may be coming your way due to the cold weather! It has such a creamy smooth taste to it from the addition of coconut milk. This soup is vegan & gluten free so can be enjoyed by everybody! It has nudged its way into the number one spot on my favorite soups of this winter and I will be making it at least once a week for the foreseeable future!

We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!! Let us know in the comments!! 💚
