Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 teaspoon coriander seeds
1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard seeds
3 tablespoons peanut oil
1/2 teaspoon curry powder (preferably Madras)
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
2 cups chopped onions
1 1/2 pounds carrots, peeled, thinly sliced into rounds (about 4 cups)
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lime peel
5 cups (or more) low-salt chicken broth or vegetable broth
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
Plain yogurt, for garnish

Steps:

  • Grind coriander and mustard seeds in a spice mill to a fine powder. Heat oil in a heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground seeds and curry powder; stir 1 minute. Add the ginger; stir 1 minute. Add the next 3 ingredients. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; sauté until the onions begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add 5 cups broth; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer uncovered until the carrots are tender, about 30 minutes. Cool slightly.
  • Working in batches, purée in a blender until smooth. Return the soup to the pot. Add more broth by 1/4 cupfuls if too thick. Stir in the lime juice; season with salt and pepper.
  • Ladle soup into bowls. Garnish with yogurt and serve.
  • Do Ahead
  • The SOUP can be made 1 day ahead through step 2. Cool slightly. Chill uncovered until cold, then cover and keep chilled. Reheat before serving.
