Creamy Carrot and Lemongrass Soup plus Tasty Tuesdays Linky Party

January 5, 2016 Filed Under: Soups and Stews

Do you need a healthy and tasty soup that cooks up in under 30 minutes and will leave you filling satisfied? How about vegan, vegetarian, low fat and/or gluten free? Then you are going to love this Creamy Carrot and Lemongrass Soup.

This soup is based on Carrot and Ginger Soup from Bitchin’ Kitchen Cookin’ for Trouble by Nadia G. I loved that show! Great food, great shoes and sarcasm, what’s not to love? And the cookbook has some of my favorite recipes from the show.

I didn’t have any ginger, but I did have lemongrass which gave it a nice slightly salty lemon taste. I also cut the recipe down to two servings because I knew I would be enjoying it alone. Yeah! More for me.  Like most soup recipes, the amounts given below are approximate. Adjust it to your own tastes. I would recommend at least 2:1 carrot to potato ratio for maximum carrot flavor. I actually had it 50/50 and the carrot was overpowered by the potato. Don’t get me wrong I like potato soup, but I was going for carrot here.

Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 tablespoons onions diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups stock chicken or vegetable
  • 1 cup carrots peeled and cut into 1/4″ rounds – 3 or 4 medium/large
  • 1/2 cup potatoes peeled and diced – 1 small russet
  • 1 tablespoon lemongrass

Instructions
 

  • In a medium pot, heat olive oil over medium heat and saute onions until translucent. About 2 minutes.
  • Add stock and scrape the bottom of the pot to loosen the browned bits (de-glaze). Add potatoes and carrots and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Pour soup into blender, add lemongrass and puree. Taste, adjust seasonings if needed and serve.

Notes

The vegetable amounts are approximate. You want to have about twice as much carrots as potatoes (at least) so the taste of the carrots stands out

      I have been experimenting with Lemongrass and find it quite flavorful in a number of dishes.
