Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (13.5-ounce) can coconut milk
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
3/4 teaspoon sea salt
2 teaspoons peeled, grated fresh ginger
2 teaspoons Thai yellow or red curry paste
1 clove garlic, peeled and chopped
12 ounces baby carrots, quartered lengthwise
2 3/4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth, plus more as needed
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 1 lime)
15 large cilantro sprigs plus 5 small cilantro sprigs
1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon black or white chia seeds

Steps:

  • Heat 1/3 cup of the coconut milk in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and salt and cook while stirring until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the ginger, curry paste, and garlic and cook while stirring until well combined and fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add the carrots, 2 3/4 cups of broth, the lime juice, the 15 large cilantro sprigs, and the remaining coconut milk and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until the carrots are very tender, about 30 minutes. Remove the cilantro sprigs and puree soup in batches in a blender, using the hot fill line as a guide.
  • Transfer the pureed soup to a clean saucepan and place over low heat. Stir in 1/4 cup of the chia seeds and simmer uncovered until chia seeds are fully hydrated and soup reaches desired consistency, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. (Note: If soup becomes thicker than you desire, stir in additional vegetable broth by the tablespoon to reach ideal consistency.) Taste and adjust seasonings, garnish with the remaining 1 teaspoon of chia seeds and small cilantro sprigs, and serve.

The soup was too thick for my liking. I added some more water to thin it out.

I found this soup to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices to give it more flavor.

This soup is a bit spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I'll probably reduce the amount of ginger next time.
