Carrot potato soup, healthy Indian soup recipes

September 1, 2016 3 Comments

Carrot potato soup, a very light, deliciously healthy Indian-style soup for all of you craving a quick and easy dinner idea. If you use a pressure cooker, then this soup recipe is really a breeze to cook up but even if not, it’s a small set of ingredients to work with that results in a delicious and naturally creamy soup.

I adapted this recipe from a gem of an Indian cookbook that was recommended by a dear friend, Disha. She actually got this to help her Filipino helper pick up Indian cooking but I must say it has helped me immensely too. Simple recipes that are sure to please. My favourites so far are rajma rice and this healthy carrot potato soup. The book is called Pure and Simple by Vidhu Mittal (buy in India or US following the links).

I don’t make soups as often as I should but here are a few favourites from the site:

Bottle gourd soup
Veg tom kha soup
Tom yum soup
Tomato juice rasam

An easy and healthy carrot potato soup recipe that's simple enough to make for a weeknight dinner. It's even easier if you have a pressure cooker to work with.
Author: nags
Recipe type: Soup
Cuisine: International
Serves: 6
Ingredients
  • 5 cups of carrots, cubed
  • 2 cups of potatoes, cubed
  • 1 tbsp + 1 tsp butter
  • 4 tbsp chopped coriander leaves (cilantro)
  • 1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • Salt to taste
Instructions
  1. Peel and cube the potatoes and carrots. I used the red washed potatoes so didn't peel them, this is up to you
  2. Place the cubed vegetables in a pressure cooker or heavy-bottomed cooking vessel with a lid
  3. Add 1 tbsp butter and enough water to submerge the vegetables
  4. If using a pressure cooker, close the cooker and let it cook for 3 whistles or 15-20 minutes
  5. Let the pressure release
  6. If using a regular cooking vessel, cover and cook on low flame until the carrots and potatoes are completely tender
  7. In the meantime, grind the coriander leaves coarsely using a pestle and mortar or small blender
  8. Once the vegetables are done, if you have a stick blender, blend the vegetables while they are still hot into a soft mush. You can leave some small chunks of vegetables as is if you'd like some texture in the soup
  9. If using a regular blender, wait until the vegetables are cool before blending
  10. In a separate pan, heat 1 tsp butter and add the coriander leaves paste
  11. Cook for ten seconds until fragrant and then add the pureed vegetable mix
  12. Add water and adjust to your desired consistency
  13. Bring to boil and add salt, sugar, and freshly cracked black pepper
  14. There's no need to boil the soup for too long
  15. Serve hot garnished with chopped coriander leaves and more black pepper

Notes:

You can add other vegetables of your choice, like cabbage, beetroot, 1-2 tomatoes, etc for different flavours
Use olive oil instead of butter if you’d like the soup to be lighter. I recommend butter for best flavour though, considering how much soup this quantity makes, the amount of butter per serve is not much at all
You can refrigerate leftover soup for up to 3 days and reheat before serving
Squeeze some lemon if you’d like the carrot soup to be a bit tangy

    Love your recipes! Would you be able to give the quantity of carrots and potatoes by weight?
    Thank you!

      Thanks Kavi. I’d say use about 280 gm carrot for every 100 gm potatoes.
