This recipe for a Curried Carrot Soup has been in some scrap paper which I happened to go through while cleaning up my closet. I have no clue from where I had copied it. It looked like a fairly old piece of paper. But anyway when I was falling short of ideas for a hearty soup, this paper came to my rescue!
The original soup didn't have the Masoor Dal but I had boiled it anyway.
This vibrant soup is for Day 6 of Srivalli's Blogging Marathon - Edition 9. Also check what my fellow marathoners are upto.
Ingredients -
Carrots diced 2 cups
Masoor Dal / Red Lentil 1/4 cup
Celery chopped 1 stalk
Vegetable Stock or water 1 1/2 cup
Milk 3/4 cup (upto 1 cup)
Curry Powder 1/2 tsp (or to taste)
Salt to taste
Sugar to taste (optional)
Pepper to taste
Tomato Sauce / Pasta/Pasta Sauce 1 Tbsp (I used Home Made Pizza Sauce)
Method Of Preparation -
Pressure cook Masoor Dal , Carrots and Celery. After the cooker cools down, transfer the contents to a stock pot and blend into a puree using an immersion blender. Alternatively, puree it in a counter top blender.
Add water, salt, sugar, curry powder and pepper.
Let it simmer and add milk as required and adjust the taste and consistency.
Garnish with Grated Cheese and or Croutons.
Serve hot.
