Carrot, squash, sweet potato, red curry and coconut soup

A super easy and quick soup to make when you have a pressure cooker (or a Presto). It warms you up, adds color, and is delicious!
I used butternut squash, but use whatever you have available.

Be careful with red curry: depending on the paste you have, it will be more or less strong. And be aware that spices take a little time to diffuse their flavor. So, your soup may be slightly spicier a few days later!

Ingredients (for 4 people)

  • 2 cups peeled and chopped carrots
  • 3 cups of peeled and chopped butternut squash
  • 3 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 onion, peeled and cut into pieces
  • 10 ml of curry paste/red curry, to suit your taste
  • 1 can of coconut milk (400 ml)
  • 1 chicken or vegetable stock cube
  • Salt/pepper to taste
  • Water

Preparation

  1. In a pot or pressure cooker, put all the vegetables.
  2. Add the stock cube, salt and pepper.
  3. Pour cold water up to the level of the vegetables, they must be completely covered.
  4. Close the pressure cooker and count 15 minutes from the moment the valve whistles. If using a saucepan, cook for about 30 minutes over simmering water.
  5. Prick the vegetables to test if they are cooked: they should be very tender.
  6. Once the vegetables are cooked, blend the soup in a blender or with a hand blender.
  7. Add the coconut milk and red curry.
  8. Adjust the seasoning and serve hot, with garlic croutons or savory granola.
