Carrot Satay Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the first 9 ingredients in a 3 1/2 - 4 quart slow cooker. Cook, covered, on low heat for 5-6 hours, or on high heat for 2 1/2 - 3 hours, or until vegetables are tender.
• Add the next 3 ingredients. Blend thoroughly with a hand blender until the mixture is smooth.
• Pour into 6 individual bowls and garnish each serving with toasted sesame seeds.

Steps:

• Combine carrots, chicken broth, and onion in a large pot. Pour enough water into the pot to assure the ingredients are covered; add garlic, thyme, and tarragon.
• Bring the liquid to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, place a cover on the pot, and simmer the mixture until the carrots are very tender, 40 to 50 minutes.
• Remove pot from heat and cool soup for 10 minutes. Puree soup with an immersion blender or mash vegetables with a potato masher and whisk the soup until smooth.
• Return pot to medium heat and cook until reheated, about 5 minutes. Stir cream through the soup.

Steps:

• Mix together the soy, peanut butter, lime zest and juice, then set aside. Heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat, add ½ the spring onions, ½ the chilli, the garlic and a pinch of salt, and cook for 3 mins.
• Pour in 450ml water, bring to the boil, then crumble in the coconut. Stir to dissolve, then spoon in the peanut butter mixture. Mix well, drop in the noodles and ½ the carrot ribbons, and cook for 5 mins. Season to taste, spoon into a bowl and top with the remaining spring onion, chilli and carrot ribbons. Drizzle over extra sesame oil or soy.

Steps:

• Heat the butter and olive oil in a large, heavy soup pot over medium-low heat and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the carrots and 1/2 teaspoon salt, cover partially and cook for another 10 minutes, stirring often, until the vegetables are tender and fragrant. Add the rice, water or stock, salt (about 1 1/2 teaspoons), and sugar. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 30 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and the soup is fragrant.
• Blend the soup either with a hand blender, in batches in a blender (cover the top with a towel and hold it down to avoid hot splashes), or through a food mill fitted with the fine blade. The rice should no longer be recognizable (it thickens the soup). Return to the pot. Stir and taste. Adjust salt, add a generous amount of freshly ground pepper, and heat through. If the sweetness of the carrots needs a boost, add another pinch of sugar.
• Serve, garnishing each bowl with croutons and a sprinkle of herbs.
