Curried carrot soup


1 tablespoon canola oil
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 medium garlic clove, smashed
1 (1/2-inch) piece ginger, peeled and smashed
1/2 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1 pound carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
1 medium bay leaf
2 1/2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1 cup almond milk
  1. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. When it shimmers, add the curry powder and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  2. Add the ginger, onion, carrots, bay leaf, and broth, increase the heat to medium high, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the carrots are soft when pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes. Discard the bay leaf.
  3. Working in batches, process the soup in a blender until smooth. (Be very careful when blending the hot soup, as steam could blow off the blender lid.)
  4. Pour the soup into a clean pot and return it to the stove over medium heat. Stir in the almond milk and adjust the seasoning as needed. To make appetizer portions, serve small amounts of soup in shot glasses or demitasses. 
 This soup can be served hot or cold. If you’re serving it hot you may need to use less almond milk :) 

Notes to self

Note to self a vegetable puree does not take the place of a fat like butter only makes bread gummy *Frustrate frustrate frustrate*

 Eggs taste good with french onion dip mixed in.

Coffee is perfect with pumpkin pie spice mixed with the grounds.

Coffee liquor  with homemade chocolate Ice cream is divine.

take a box of butternut squash soup add peppers, onions, sausage and soup noodles = AMAZING DINNER
