Instructions
Step 1
Begin by chopping the onion, carrot, and potatoes into small cubes. Make sure to cut them evenly to ensure even cooking.
Next, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the cubed vegetables. Cook for about 20 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Step 2
Once the vegetables are cooked, it’s time to add flavor! Sprinkle in your preferred spices such as salt, pepper, curry, and turmeric.
Then, pour in the milk (and cream if using). Let the mixture simmer for another 15 minutes to combine the flavors.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the flour with a little water to create a slurry. This step prevents any lumps from forming in your soup.
Add this mixture to the pot and stir well. Cook for an additional 20 minutes to thicken the soup.
Step 4
If you prefer a creamier texture, feel free to blend the soup until smooth.
Serve your aromatic and hearty soup hot, topped with cheese and a drizzle of sesame oil (or omit this step if you're out). Enjoy it with some crunchy croutons!
Servings
Equipment
Essential for chopping vegetables quickly and safely. Make sure it's sharp to ensure smooth cutting!
A sturdy board is ideal for prepping your veggies. Consider using separate boards for meats and vegetables to avoid cross-contamination.



You'll need a medium to large pot to cook the soup. A pot with a lid will help in retaining moisture and cooking faster.



If you prefer a creamy texture, an immersion blender makes blending a breeze. If using a regular blender, let the soup cool slightly before blending.
