Ingredients
  

  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 3 Tbs. olive oil
  • 2 – 3 Tbs. gluten free Thai yellow curry paste optional*
  • 3 Tbs. coconut aminos or gluten free tamari
  • 2 tsp. curry powder
  • 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 Tbs. fresh finely chopped and peeled ginger
  • 1 clove garlic finely chopped (optional)
  • 2 lbs carrots peeled and chopped
  • 3/4 cup apple cider
  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable stock
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1 Tbs. red wine or balsamic vinegar

garnish

  • 8 Tbs. gluten-free chutney optional
  • 1 1/2 Tbs. fresh peeled ginger slices garnish
  • 4 sprigs cilantro use leaves for garnish

Instructions

  • Sauté onion in olive oil over medium-high heat until translucent. Add to stock pot or pressure cooker, together with remaining ingredients and bring to a boil or pressure cook for 8 minutes on high.
  • Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and cover, stirring periodically until carrots are soft. Using an immersion blender (or transfer to a blender or food processor) purée soup to desired smoothness.
  • If the soup is too thick for your liking, add more cider, broth or coconut milk to achieve your desired consistency. If it is too thin, continue to cook uncovered until it cooks down.
  • Spoon one tablespoon of chutney, if using, into each bowl. Top with soup and garnish with remaining garnish ingredients. Serve warm.

Notes

*If not using a commercial gluten free yellow curry paste, add additional spices to suit your tastes: one alternative combination we enjoy is to add 1 Tablespoon toasted sesame oil + 1 Tablespoon ground cumin + 1 teaspoon additional curry powder.
