This spiced carrot soup is warming and full of goodness. Mild curry spices give the earthy carrots an extra boost for a cold day. Isn’t soup just the best when the temperature has dropped!
This soup is so easy to make, all you need is carrots and onion and a few store cupboard spices.
You can make it either in a blender/soup maker (I use a Froothie Evolve blender with cooking function) as I have here, or in a slow cooker or on the hob/stove top.
If you don’t have a Froothie Evolve you’ll also need a blender to make the soup smooth.
A stick blender will be fine, though it might not be as smooth as my soup made in the power blender.

Spices
Curried carrot soup is always a favourite so I’ve given my carrot soup recipe some curry spices in the form of cumin, coriander and garam masala.
I also used some ground ginger as it pairs well with carrot.
This isn’t a really spicy carrot soup because it doesn’t contain any chilli but you can add some chilli powder, chilli flakes or fresh chilli if you like a spicy soup.
You can also add in some parsnip, sweet potato or butternut squash with the carrots for a change from carrot soup.

This is such a useful recipe. I always have carrots in the fridge and this soup will be a great standby when I need a quick soup. The Froothie Evolve is amazing for making smooth soups.

Excellent! I’ve found using really fresh carrots gives a really bright orange colour which I love.
