Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 3 medium russet potatoes, diced (600g)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- Fresh cilantro, to taste
- 1 lime, juiced
Spices and Seasonings
- 2 tsp curry powder, fresh preferred
Liquids
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
Instructions
- Prep: Wash, peel, and dice the russet potatoes into small cubes to ensure even cooking. Chop the onion finely and mince the garlic cloves to release their full flavor during cooking.
- Sauté: In a large pot, cook the chopped onion over medium heat until it becomes translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and curry powder, stirring well to coat the onion mixture. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the spices to bloom and develop their aroma.
- Simmer: Add the diced potatoes and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer gently until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork, approximately 15-20 minutes.
- Finish: Stir in the full-fat coconut milk, blending it thoroughly into the soup to create a creamy texture. Use an immersion blender or transfer the soup in batches to a blender to puree until smooth. Return to the pot if needed and warm through. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice before serving for a fresh, vibrant finish.
Notes
- For a thinner soup, add more vegetable broth or water as needed.
- You can substitute curry powder with curry paste for a more intense flavor.
- Use an immersion blender for easier blending right in the pot.
- This soup stores well and tastes even better the next day.
- Adjust lime juice to your taste preference to balance the flavors.
