CREAMY CURRIED ROOT VEGETABLE SOUP

This is a hearty, thick soup with a little bit of heat from the curry. I've used this combination of vegetables a few times with great success, but using earthy tubers, taproots, and alliums is the key, so try different things. For this recipe, you'll need a large skillet or wok, a medium saucepan, and a food processor or blender. I enjoy spicy foods, so you may want to reduce pepper and curry amounts. I used half milk and half cream once and got a very nice creamy soup, but some may prefer the thinner consistency of using only milk. This recipe can be adjusted for vegan palettes by using an olive oil substitute for the butter, coconut or soy milk, and an anchovy-free Worcestershire sauce. Balsamic vinegar can do in a pinch.

Time 1h40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons butter
6 Hakurei turnips, chopped
6 red radishes, chopped
2 heads garlic, chopped
6 green onions, chopped
5 carrots, peeled and chopped
1 ½ pounds red potatoes, cut into cubes
1 quart vegetable stock
1 bay leaf
1 ½ cups milk
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons curry powder
2 tablespoons brown sugar
10 grinds cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir turnips, radishes, garlic, and green onions in melted butter until hot, about 3 minutes. Stir carrots, red potatoes, and vegetable stock into the turnip mixture; bring to a simmer, add bay leaf, and reduce heat to low. Cook at a simmer, stirring occasionally, for 45 minutes.
  • Remove and discard bay leaf. Working in batches, pour the turnip mixture into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than half full. Carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the mixture moving before leaving it on to puree. Transfer to a large saucepan over low heat.
  • Stir milk, Worcestershire sauce, curry powder, brown sugar, and black pepper into the soup; cook and stir constantly until color and spices are evenly mixed. Let soup simmer over very low heat for another 10 minutes.

CREAMY ROOT VEGETABLE SOUP

Categories     Potato     Carrot

Yield 4 to 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 T. butter
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
2 medium parsnips, peeled and chopped
1 leek, white and light green parts only, halved lengthwise, sliced thin, washed and drained - (could substitute an onion, chopped)
1 celery rib, chopped
1 garlic clove, peeled and smashed
1/2 tsp. salt
12 oz. russet potatoes, peeled and cut to 1/2" size
4-5 c. low-sodium chicken broth
1 bay leaf
1/2 c. heavy cream

Steps:

  • Melt butter in Dutch oven over medium high heat. Add carrots, parsnips, leek, celery, garlic and salt and cook until browned. Add potatoes and stir constantly until vegetables begin to stick together, about 2 min. Add broth and bay leaf and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 15-20 min or until vegetables are tender. Remove bay leaf. Process in blender and return to pot. Stir in cream, finish seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Keeps well in refrig. I have browned cut-up bacon, used bacon grease to saute the vegetables, and added the crispy bacon pieces back after the soup is pureed.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of root vegetables: This will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include carrots, potatoes, parsnips, turnips, and rutabagas.
  • Roast the vegetables before adding them to the soup: This will help to caramelize them and bring out their natural sweetness.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. If you don't have any vegetable broth on hand, you can use water, but your soup won't be as flavorful.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices until the soup reaches your desired flavor.
  • Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt: This will add a creamy richness to the soup and help to balance out the flavors.

Conclusion:

Creamy root vegetable soup is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a soup that is both flavorful and satisfying. So next time you're looking for a comforting and nutritious meal, give creamy root vegetable soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
