Chilled curried carrot soup is a delightful and refreshing soup that combines the sweetness of carrots with the warmth of curry spices. It's a perfect dish for a light lunch or dinner, and it can also be served as an appetizer. The soup is made with a base of carrots, onion, and celery, which are simmered in a broth until tender. Curry powder, cumin, and coriander are then added to the soup, along with some coconut milk and lime juice. The soup is then chilled and served, often garnished with fresh cilantro or mint.

- Heat butter in a Dutch oven or large (4- to 5-quart) saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, curry powder, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft, about 5 minutes.
- (At this point, if your carrots don't taste sweet enough, add a teaspoon of sugar). Add broth, carrots, and 3 cups water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover, and simmer until carrots are tender, about 20 minutes.
- In a blender, puree soup in batches until smooth; transfer to a clean saucepan. Add more water to thin to desired consistency. Reheat, if necessary. Stir in lemon juice. Serve garnished with cilantro, if desired.

Steps:
- Preheat medium pot over medium high heat. Add olive oil, butter, onions and carrots and saute 5 minutes. Add 4 cups chicken stock, curry and cayenne, and about 1 teaspoon salt to the pot. Bring to a boil, cover and cook until carrots are very tender, about 15 minutes. Place pot on a trivet next to food processor. Process soup in 2 or 3 small batches until soup is smooth and carrots are fully pureed. Transfer processed soup into a large bowl as you work to make room for more soup in the food processor. Return completed soup to the soup pot and place back over low heat. If the soup is too thick, add remaining stock, up to 2 cups, to achieve desired consistency. Adjust seasonings. Place sour cream in a plastic condiment squeeze bottle or into a medium food storage bag. Cut a very small hole in the corner of the bag with scissors. Ladle soup into bowls and squirt a swirl of sour cream around the bowl from the center out to the rim. Drag a toothpick from the center of the bowls out to the edges, forming a spider web design on soup. Pile a few pieces of cut chives at the center of each bowl to resemble green spiders in their webs! Cool!

CURRIED CARROT AND COCONUT SOUP
There's a nice challenge in staring into a less than sufficiently stocked refrigerator. Last night we were down to not much more than carrots. Thus: them, an onion, grated ginger, a sort of curry mix. There was stock in the freezer, a can of coconut milk. A lime. Wish I'd had cilantro, but hey, it worked.

Steps:
- Heat the butter until the foam subsides. Add the diced chopped onions, sprinkle with salt, stir to coat with butter. Add the chopped carrots along with the spices. Stir and cook until softened, about 10 minutes.
- Add the stock; there should be enough to cover the vegetables. Bring the pot to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking until the carrots are cooked through, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- If you have an immersion blender, purée the soup in the pot. If not, wait until the soup cools slightly, and purée in a food processor. Add enough coconut milk (and a little more stock or water if necessary) to bring the soup to the consistency you want. Adjust the seasoning (depending on the stock you use, you may need more or less salt), and lime juice to taste. Garnish and serve.

Steps:
- Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large, deep saute pan until shimmering.
- Add carrots, then onion; saute, stirring very little at first, then more frequently, until vegetables start to turn golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and add butter, sugar and garlic; continue cooking until all vegetables are a rich spotty caramel color, about 10 minutes longer.
- Add curry powder; continue to saute until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute longer.
- Add broth; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until carrots are tender, about 10 minutes.
- Using an immersion blender or traditional blender, puree until very smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. (If using a traditional blender, vent it either by removing the lid's pop-out center or by lifting one edge of the lid. Drape the blender canister with a kitchen towel. To 'clean' the canister, pour in a little half-and-half, blend briefly, then add to the soup.)
- Return to pan (or a soup pot); add enough half-and-half so the mixture is souplike, yet thick enough to float garnish. Taste, and add salt and pepper if needed. Heat through, ladle into bowls, garnish and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: For the best flavor, use fresh, young carrots. Avoid carrots that are woody or have blemishes.
- Roast the carrots: Roasting the carrots before pureeing them intensifies their flavor and gives the soup a slightly smoky taste.
- Use a good quality curry powder: The curry powder is the key ingredient in this soup, so use a good quality brand. Look for a curry powder that is fresh and has a vibrant color.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the spices: The amount of curry powder and cayenne pepper in this recipe can be adjusted to taste. If you like a milder soup, use less curry powder and cayenne pepper. If you like a spicier soup, use more.
- Chill the soup before serving: This soup is best served chilled. This allows the flavors to meld and develop.
Conclusion:
This chilled curried carrot soup is a delicious and refreshing soup that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover roasted carrots. The soup is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So experiment with different spices and herbs until you find a combination that you love.
