Number Of Ingredients 11

2 bunches (about 1 pound each) new carrots, trimmed and peeled (or 1 bunch new carrots and 1 cup carrot juice)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 medium shallots, peeled and sliced
1 half-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
1 clove garlic, sliced
1 teaspoon Madras curry powder
Fine sea salt and freshly ground white pepper
2 cups Homemade Chicken Stock Homemade Chicken Stock, or low-sodium canned
6 ounces unsweetened coconut milk
4 large shrimp, peeled and deveined and cut crosswise into thirds
Fresh cilantro leaves, thinly sliced, for garnish

Steps:

  • Cut one bunch of carrots crosswise into thin slices. Juice the second bunch to yield 1 cup juice; set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots, and cook until tender and translucent but not brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in carrots, ginger, garlic, and curry powder. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3 minutes more. Stir in chicken stock and coconut milk, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until carrots are tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Working in several batches, transfer soup to the jar of a blender along with carrot juice, being careful not to fill more than halfway; cover lid with a kitchen towel, as hot liquid will expand when blended. Puree until smooth. Pass through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean saucepan. Place over medium heat to keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, heat remaining tablespoon oil in a medium skillet. Add shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook, just until opaque, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove from pan.
  • Arrange three shrimp pieces in each of four soup bowls. Ladle soup around shrimp. Garnish with cilantro. Serve immediately.

Categories     dinner, weekday, soups and stews, appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
8 to 16 medium to large cloves garlic, peeled
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 thick slices French or Italian bread
6 cups shrimp stock, chicken stock, water or a combination
1 to 1 1/2 pounds shrimp, peeled (deveining is optional)
Minced fresh parsley leaves for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine olive oil and garlic in a deep skillet or broad saucepan and turn heat to medium. Sprinkle cloves lightly with salt and pepper, and cook, turning occasionally, until they are tender and lightly browned all over, about 10 minutes; lower heat if they seem to be browning too quickly. Remove garlic with a slotted spoon.
  • Turn heat to low and add bread (in batches, if necessary); cook on each side until nicely browned, about 4 minutes total. Remove bread, add stock and raise heat to medium high.
  • When stock is nearly boiling, add shrimp and salt and pepper to taste. Cook until shrimp are pink, about 4 minutes. Place a piece of bread and some garlic cloves in each of 4 bowls; then ladle in a portion of soup and shrimp. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your soup. Choose fresh, crisp carrots, succulent shrimp, and flavorful chicken stock.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When adding the vegetables to the pot, make sure not to overcrowd it. This will prevent the vegetables from cooking evenly and will result in a watery soup.
  • Simmer, don't boil: Once the soup comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for at least 15 minutes. This will allow the flavors to develop and meld together.
  • Season to taste: Before serving, taste the soup and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs to taste.
  • Garnish before serving: For a finishing touch, garnish the soup with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, or a drizzle of olive oil.
