Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients
First, wash and chop the carrots, onion, garlic, and ginger. This is the perfect time to get your hands dirty, and trust me, the smell will be amazing!
Sauté the Aromatics
In a big pot, heat a little oil. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter — this part is fun! Then, toss in the onions, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until the onions become soft and smell yummy.
Cook the Carrots
Add the chopped carrots to the pot. Stir them for a couple of minutes so they get all coated with the flavors. It's like they’re getting ready for the soup party!
Add Spices and Broth
Sprinkle in some turmeric and coriander powder. Then pour in the broth or water. Bring it to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until the carrots are soft. All things considered, this is when the magic happens!
Blend the Soup
Once it’s cooked, carefully blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Be super careful with hot liquids, though! It’s like making a smooth, velvety potion.
Final Touches
If you like, add cream for extra richness. Then season with salt and pepper to your taste. This is the part where you can adjust the flavors.
Serve and Enjoy
Finally, garnish with fresh coriander and serve! Now, enjoy your delicious carrot soup— warm, spicy, and just perfect!
