Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Vegetables

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

Add Dairy and Spices

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

Thicken the Soup

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

Finish and Serve

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

Serving this aromatic soup can be a delightful experience! 🎉 For an inviting dinner, serve it hot with a sprinkle of crispy croutons on top for a delightful crunch. You can also pair it with a slice of warm, crusty bread or buttery breadsticks to soak up every drop of flavor. Consider adding a drizzle of fresh olive oil or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or chives right before serving for an extra hit of freshness.✨ Don't forget to set the table with your favorite napkins and a cute soup spoon for that extra touch of love!

Equipment

Variations

For gluten-free enthusiasts: 🌱 Substitute the flour with cornstarch or gluten-free flour to thicken the soup without any gluten. For our vegan friends: 🥳 Replace the cream and milk with coconut milk or almond milk, and use nutritional yeast in place of cheese for a cheesy flavor without dairy. These variations ensure everyone can enjoy a delicious bowl of soup!
