We stirred harissa, a hot chile sauce commonly used in North Africa, into this carrot-and-leek soup for a hint of heat.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium leek, white and pale-green parts only, halved lengthwise and sliced crosswise 1/4 inch thick, rinsed well
1 bunch carrots (about 6), peeled and sliced crosswise 1/4 inch thick
2 teaspoons harissa
Coarse salt
3 cups homemade or store-bought low-sodium chicken stock
Garnish: 1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook leek until just soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in carrots and harissa. Season with salt. Cook until carrots are just soft, 8 to 10 minutes. Add chicken stock, and bring to a simmer. Cook until vegetables are tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Puree half the soup in a blender until smooth. (For safety, remove cap from hole in lid, and cover with a dish towel to prevent spattering.) Stir puree into remaining soup in pan. Divide soup among 4 bowls, and garnish with parsley.

SPICY CARROT SOUP

A healthy, tasty, and spicy soup I made for Thanksgiving for a Turkish/Japanese crowd, who really enjoyed the heat! I used homemade chili powder from de arbol chilis, and homemade chicken stock instead of vegetable. Simple to make. The chopping takes a little while if you are slow like me, and it cooks for a long time, but does not really need to be attended too much. From a book called 400 Soups. The original recipe also included garlic croutons for topping.

I went on a cruise on the Holland America cruiseline and they served a wonderful carrot soup. The seasonings are a little different, and this is from the Down Home with the Neely's cookbook, so you know it's gotta be good!

Time 50m

Yield 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 15

5 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
1 lb carrot, coarsely chopped
2 medium celery ribs, coarsely chopped
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
1 leek, white and tender green parts only, coarsely chopped
1 small sweet potato, peeled and coarsely chopped (about 6 ounces)
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (more or less to heat preference)
1 cup buttermilk (well shaken)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
salt
pepper
2 tablespoons flat leaf parsley, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • In a large pot, combine the stock with the carrots, celery, onion, leek, potato, ginger, cumin, coriander, and cayenne, and bring to a boil.
  • Cover and simmer over low heat until the vegetables are tender, 20-25 minutes.
  • Working in batches, puree the soup in a food processor(or blender), then return to the pot.
  • Stir in buttermilk and lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Reheat gently. Ladle into bowls, and sprinkle with the parsley and serve. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh, organic carrots. Avoid carrots that are wrinkled or have blemishes.
  • Roast the carrots first: Roasting the carrots before adding them to the soup intensifies their flavor and gives the soup a richer color.
  • Use a high-quality vegetable broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and made with real vegetables.
  • Don't overcook the soup: The soup should be simmered for just long enough to heat through and blend the flavors. Overcooking will make the soup mushy.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, or chives add a pop of color and flavor to the soup.

Conclusion:

This silky spicy carrot soup is a delicious and healthy way to warm up on a cold day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a comforting and nutritious soup, give this recipe a try!
