Instant Pot® Carrot Soup with a Kick for Vegans

01 / WHAT YOU NEED

Ingredients

8 carrots, chopped 2 cups vegetable broth 1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk 1 onion, chopped 4 cloves garlic, peeled 1 tablespoon red curry paste 2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon ground black pepper 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by adding the carrots, vegetable broth, coconut milk, onion, garlic, curry paste, salt, and pepper into your Instant Pot or any similar pressure cooker. Secure the lid and set it to cook on high pressure for 15 minutes. It might take about 10 to 15 minutes for the pot to come up to pressure before the timer starts. Once the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally—this can take anywhere from 10 to 40 minutes, so be patient. When it’s safe to open, remove the lid and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until it’s smooth and creamy, which should take around 3 minutes. Ladle the soup into bowls and finish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for a bright, fresh touch. Enjoy!

03 / EXTRA DETAILS

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Use fresh carrots for the best natural sweetness and texture.
- Adjust the spice level by adding more or less chili flakes according to your taste.
- Blend the soup carefully to achieve a smooth, creamy consistency without overworking your blender.
