- Carrots: The star of the show here!
- Aromatics: Onion, ginger, and fresh garlic are roasted with the carrots and add so much to the foundation of this vegan soup recipe.
- Cumin: This earthy warming spice melds perfectly with the sweet roasted carrots.
- Cayenne pepper: For some spiciness but you can adjust to your own taste.
- Vegetable broth: Cooking with vegetable broth gives the soup a richer flavor than water alone.
- Coconut milk: Be sure you are using full-fat canned coconut milk for the best flavor.
- Lemon: Freshly squeezed lemon juice is my favorite. It adds a nice brightness to the soup’s flavor.
- Soy sauce: Adds delicious umami flavor to the soup.
- Rice vinegar: A mild vinegar which gives a bit of acid to balance out the natural sweetness of carrots. You can swap with any vinegar but I find apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar are the closest in terms of flavor.
- Rice noodles: Cooked rice noodles are added to make this a noodle soup but it’s totally optional. Leave them out for a creamy roasted carrot soup.
How To Make Curry Carrot Soup Vegan
Step 1: First, roast the vegetables. Lightly oil a baking sheet or use parchment paper. Then spread the carrots, onion, ginger, and garlic cloves out and sprinkle with salt, cumin, and cayenne.
Step 2: Next, place the vegetables in the oven and bake until the carrots and onions are starting to brown about 25 minutes.
Step 3: Next, combine the vegetable broth and coconut milk in a Dutch oven or large soup pot and heat gently over medium-low heat. When the veggies are soft, squeeze the garlic from its papers and add all the roasted veggies to the pot along with lemon juice, soy sauce, and vinegar.
Step 4: When the soup is hot, blend well with an immersion blender or regular blender in batches. If using the noodles, add them and serve immediately.
Toni’s Recipe Tips
- Add the noodles right before serving so they don’t keep cooking in the hot soup and become mushy.
- Roasting the vegetables may seem like an extra step but the carrots really develop richer, sweeter flavors when roasted in the oven to make this soup.
FAQs for Carrot Curry Soup
No, peeling carrots is completely unnecessary especially when making blended soups. They do grow in dirt so give them a good scrub and trim off any little roots before cutting them up into chunks to cook.
In this recipe, the soup comes out deliciously creamy and thick thanks to the roasted vegetables. However, if you are looking for a thicker consistency you can add one tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with a few tablespoons of the soup. Then add it to the pot and cook until the soup thickens.
Serving Suggestions
- Rice: Don’t have noodles or want to switch things up? Serve over rice instead!
- Bread: Enjoy with the the easiest no-knead bread, sweet potato cornbread, sage butternut squash biscuits, or easy vegan garlic bread.
- A simple side salad: Pairs delightfully with a garden salad, kale salad, Vegan Caesar salad, etc.
- Fall salads: Embrace the fall flavors with an easy apple pecan salad, roasted beet and kale salad, vegan broccoli salad, etc.
- Vegetables: Boost the veggie power with a side of oven charred broccoli, air fryer Brussels sprouts, or spicy roasted cauliflower.
- Protein: Serve with your favorite plant-based protein, like tempeh kabobs, crispy baked tofu, or even a topping of crispy air fryer chickpeas.
Storage Instructions
- Make ahead: Curry carrot soup is perfect for making ahead of time. If you are using the noodles, I recommend keeping the soup and noodles separate when storing. When the noodles sit in the soup for an extended time, they become quite mushy.
- Refrigerator: Store the soup in an airtight container or jar for up to five days.
- Freezer: You can freeze this roasted carrot soup in an airtight container for up to 3 months, but not with the noodles. I suggest removing the portion you plan to freeze before adding the noodles. Allow the soup to thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
- Reheat: Return the soup to a saucepan and heat over medium heat until the soup is heated through. If you are adding the noodles, add them at the end of the cooking time.
