Ingredients

3 tablespoons canola oil
2 teaspoons curry powder
8 medium carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
4 medium stalks celery, thinly sliced
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
5 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper, to taste

Directions

Step 1
Cook oil and curry powder in a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in carrots, celery and onion; toss to coat in oil. Cook, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes. Stir in broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the vegetables are very tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat; let stand 10 minutes. Lay a paper towel over the surface of the soup to blot away the oil that has risen to the top. Discard the paper towel.

Yummy Indian Comfort FoodMy fiance and I loved this soup! We love spicey food so we used double the hot curry powder and lots of black pepper. It was spicy and sweet and delicious paired with naan. Will definitely make again, would be perfect for autumn.

Delicious! Next time I would make this I would double the recipe! I am a vegetarian so I used vegetable broth in place for the chicken broth. Pros: very easy to make and great flavor! Cons: did not make alot and calls for chicken broth

I think that this recipe was delicious. It was easy to prepare and you have plenty for leftovers. I agree also that if you want a little kick that you could use the Madras Curry to achieve that. All in all it was very good.

I hate throwing away the leftovers from juicing and found this a great way to use up the carrot scraps from my carrot juice. The soup turns out delicious and does not need to be blended. It is also a great soup to freeze to save for busy weeknights.

I am not a big fan of carrot soup, but I needed a recipe to use up all these extra carrots I had. And surprise, surprise! This recipe is pretty decent... Erika, Fort Lauderdale, FL
