THAI CARROT SOUP WITH GINGER AND LEMONGRASS RECIPE
Steps:
- Pour 2 tablespoons oil into the bottom of a large soup pot. Add onion, garlic, galangal or ginger, lemongrass and fresh chili (or chili sauce). Stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the broth and rice. Bring to a boil.
- Add the carrots plus the spices (cumin, cardamom, nutmeg). Reduce heat to medium, cover, and continue cooking for another 15 minutes, or until carrots and rice are soft; brown rice will take longer to cook, and will absorb more liquid, so you may need to add a little more broth.
- Add the coconut milk and stir. Remove from the heat and puree the soup in batches in your blender. Return soup to the soup pot.
- Rewarm soup over medium heat. Add the fish sauce, soy sauce, and lime juice. Taste-test for salt, adding more fish sauce instead of salt, as needed. If your soup turns out too salty, add more lime juice. Add more fresh chili or chili sauce if not spicy enough.
- Ladle into bowls and sprinkle with fresh coriander and basil.

Steps:
- "Heat a large soup pot over medium heat. When hot, add the butter and oil. When the butter has melted, add the onion, season with salt, and cook for five minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion begins to soften. Add the carrots, lemongrass, and ginger, stir, and cover. Cook for ten minutes. Add the coconut milk and broth, bring the soup to a simmer, and simmer over low heat until the carrots are cooked through, about 20 to 25 minutes. Carefully puree the soup in a food processor or blender (or using an immersion blender). Return the soup to the pot, season to taste with salt, and serve hot.".
