Our first Year of Soup recipe! This carrot bisque is from Vegan with a Vengeance, a book we have had for several years and rely on for some of its recipes.
Carrot bisque must be one of the most economical soups! Taking out the pantry type ingredients, it required 1.3kg carrots (about $2), a can of coconut milk (99c) and an onion and some garlic (both of which i always have a lot of). Unbelievable! We had it last night and tonight for dinner.
Essentially its a ‘curried carrot soup’. Most of the flavour comes from the carrots, the coconut milk and the curry powder – not that its a bad thing, we both really love curries. We’ve enjoyed it with olive sourdough which provides a sharper contrast.
We give this a 3.5/5 and will probably eat it again! However, next time I will try using cashew cream rather than coconut milk – costs more but will allow a stronger carrot flavour.
