Chilly nights call for comforting soups. Curry adds that twist and flavour to a run of the mill carrot soup. This recipe serves 4, is low in calorie and surprise – no cream, yet it tastes like it does. Whip out your blenders!
A fricassee of Portobello mushrooms will turn it into a meal, soup can be served without the mushrooms if preferred. Recipe below.

You should try it Matias. I made it for my boyfriend but he wasn’t sure it would taste great without the cream. He was pleasantly surprised!

I am not a curry person, but you know what I simply love this Curried Carrot Soup recipe. I also know some of my family members will love this too. Thanks for sharing this
Thank you for the kind comment. The curry flavor in the soup is very mild. This is primarily because I use a relatively small amount in addition to the black pepper. Try it out – you may surprise yourself and discover that when used in moderation; curry can be quite the super ingredient.
I found your blog via a post on BGLH and I am soooo glad I did. This soup looks amazing!
Hi Onia, welcome! The soup is so easy to prepare, can’t wait to hear if you tried it.
