This vegan curried root vegetable soup is extra silky thanks to some added beans and coconut milk. Serve it with some crusty bread or naan.
Curry works really well in soups, especially with root vegetables. The spices give a warming feel which is so comforting and soothing especially during the winter months. The flavours will develop so it does taste even better the next day.
If you prefer a spicier dish, you can substitute the mild curry powder for medium or hot curry powder instead.
How to make this soup
I have used a mix of carrots. parsnips and potatoes in equal proportions. They are gently cooked in a base of onion, garlic, curry powder, coriander, cumin, grated ginger, turmeric and tomato paste. To make things easier, I have used some shop-bought stock powder but if you have some homemade vegetable stock that would be even better.
Cannellini beans are fantastic to add some plant-based creaminess (and proteins) without the need for dairy. Add them once you have liquidised the soup, and then liquidise the soup again. For extra flavour, I have added some fresh coriander.
You can use full-fat or light coconut milk, keeping a spoon or two aside to decorate your soup bowl when serving.
