Curried Autumn Root Vegetable Soup Food

SPICED ROOT VEGETABLE SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large pan. Add the onions and fry for 5 mins until softened. Tip in the remaining veg and cook for another 5 mins, adding the chilli and cumin for final 2 mins.
• Add the lentils and stock to the pan. Bring to the boil, then lower heat and simmer for 25 mins until veg are tender and lentils are soft. Blitz until smooth with the milk and a little extra water or stock, if necessary. Season, then reheat until piping hot.
• Ladle into bowls and serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of chopped coriander.

CREAMY CURRIED ROOT VEGETABLE SOUP

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.

CURRIED ROOT VEGETABLE SOUP

Steps:

• Peel and dice the vegetables (cut swede smaller as takes longer to cook), keeping the onion separate.
• Melt the butter in a large pan and on a gentle heat gently sweat the onion, garlic and ginger under a lid for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Next turn the heat up a little and stir in the spices and cook for 2 minutes.
• Add the vegetables and cook for a few minutes whilst stirring to coat in the spices.
• Add the stock, salt and pepper.
• Bring to the boil and simmer with the lid on for about 25 - 30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender (push a piece of swede against the edge of the pan with a wooden spoon and if it breaks in half easily you're good to go).
• Blend (don't over blend or soup will turn gloopy).
• Taste, and adust seasoning if necessary.
• Reheat and serve with crusty bread.

COCONUT CURRY SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the coconut oil in a large stock pot (I use my Dutch Oven) over medium-high heat. Add the yellow onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, cauliflower, curry powder, sea salt, and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until very fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the peppers and carrots, cover, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until vegetables have softened but are still slightly al dente, about 5 to 8 minutes.
• Pour in the coconut milk, vegetable broth, lime juice, and pure maple syrup. Cover and heat to a gentle boil, then immediately reduce the heat to a simmer. Continue cooking, covered, until vegetables have reached desired done-ness, about 5 to 10 minutes.
• Taste the soup for flavor. Add more sea salt, lime juice, and/or red pepper flakes to taste. Serve with fresh green onion.

CURRIED CREAM OF ROOT VEGETABLE SOUP

• Let cool for 15 minutes. Puree soup in batches. Add cream and heat through but DO NOT BOIL.

• NOTE: you can create your own combination of root vegetables. Total amount of diced vegetables should total about 4 cups or 1 litre.

ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLE SOUP

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Divide the root vegetables evenly on two large baking sheets. Drizzle each with 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil and season each with 1/2 teaspon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place both baking sheets in the oven and roast for about 30 minutes minutes flipping once rotating trays halfway through.
• Heat a large pot over medium heat and add in 1 teaspoon olive oil, yellow onion, garlic, thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook for about five minutes. Next, add the roasted root vegetables and stir. Then, add the vegetable stock. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and simmer for ten minutes.
• Turn off the heat and let soup cool. Then, using an immersion blender blend the soup to desired consistency. You can also blend the soup in batches in a blender or food processor. Add the soup back to the pot and heat when ready to serve.

CURRIED VEGETABLE STEW

Steps:

• Heat the oil in the bottom of a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion and 1 tsp of salt and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
