Ingredients


3 tbsp Butter, grass fed, unsalted
3 tbsp Olive Oil, Extra Virgin
1 cup Sweet onion (chopped)
2 tbsp minced Ginger root (peeled fresh)
2 clove(s) Garlic (finely minced)
7 cup Chicken broth (stock), low sodium (or vegetable)
4 cup chopped Carrots ((1 1/2 pounds))
1 cup White wine, dry
2 tsp Lime juice (fresh) (fresh)
1/4 tsp Curry powder
1/4 tsp Black pepper (freshly ground)
2 tbsp Cilantro (coriander) (chopped fresh)

Instructions


  1. Heat a large saucepan over medium heat. Melt butter with olive oil in pan; cook 2 minutes or until butter melts.
  2. Add onion, ginger, and garlic. Cook 10 minutes or until onion is soft, stirring occasionally. Stir in broth, carrot, and wine. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 45 minutes.
  3. Place half of carrot mixture in a blender. Remove center piece of blender lid (to allow steam to escape); secure blender lid on blender. Place a clean towel over opening in blender lid (to avoid splatters). Blend until smooth.
  4. Pour into a bowl. Repeat procedure with remaining carrot mixture.
  5. Stir in lime juice, curry powder, and pepper. Ladle about 2/3 cup soup into each of 12 bowls. Sprinkle evenly with cilantro.

Notes:

Make this a vegetarian option by using vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and vegan by using olive oil in place of butter.
