roasted carrot and leek soup

Ingredients

  • 6 cups chopped carrots
  • 1 white onion sliced into big chunks
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 leeks sliced and rinsed
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoon curry powder
  • dash nutmeg
  • dash ginger
  • 1 14 oz can light coconut milk
  • plain Greek yogurt for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Line two baking sheets with foil (optional but I do it for easier clean up).
  • Divide carrots and onion among the two baking sheets and drizzle with 2 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes.
  • Add remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to large soup pot and heat oven medium heat.
  • Add leeks and cook 5-7 minutes, until they start to soften.
  • Add garlic and cook 2 more minutes, stirring well.
  • Add broth, curry powder, nutmeg, and ginger.
  • Bring to a boil and let simmer 10 minutes.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Stir in half of coconut milk.
  • At this point you can either transfer to a high powered blender, such as a Vitamix, or use an immersion blender to puree the soup. I used my Vitamix to get it super creamy.
  • Add whatever amount of remaining coconut milk that you want, depending on your preference of how thick you like your soup. I just added a couple more tablespoons.
  • Ladle into soup bowls and top with dollop of plain Greek yogurt.
  • Enjoy!
