🍲 Ingredients

Curry Powder: For this recipe, I used Simply Organic spices which bring the soup to life. However, I wanted to talk about their curry powder specifically since it’s what gives this soup the curry flavor we all know and love. Simply Organic’s curry powder is a blend of 11 high-quality spices that give it a deep, earthy, and warm spice and flavor to any dish. I absolutely am obsessed with the curry flavor it gives in this soup!

Potatoes: There is not really a rule of what type of potatoes you use in this soup. Use whatever you have in your pantry, and even mix and match different ones. 

Coconut Milk: Coconut milk is a key to this soup so do not swap it for another kind of milk. The coconut milk adds a unique flavor and also the creaminess you want in this soups base.

🪄 Tips and Tricks

• Potato Prep: Cut potatoes into uniform 1-inch pieces for even cooking. Leave the skin on for extra nutrients and texture – just scrub them well first.
• Spice Blooming: If you have cumin seeds, don’t skip blooming them first! Heat them in the oil for 2-3 minutes until fragrant before adding other spices. This extra step creates incredible depth of flavor.
• Coconut Milk Technique: Shake the coconut milk can well before opening, or stir to recombine if separated. Take it off the heat or put it on very low heat to prevent curdling.

🗒 Substitutions

• Spices: If you are sensitive to spices, adjust the measurements for the spices used accordingly. 
• Protein: To add extra protein, use half the potatoes and swap in lentils, chickpeas, tofu, your protein of choice, or even an abundance of veggies.
• Oil: If you don’t want to use oil, start with a little bit of water. You could also use butter (of choice), coconut oil, or even ghee!

Instructions

 

• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
• To the pot, add the onion and garlic.  Sweat/cook them for 5-7 minutes or until translucent and fragrant.  You may need to reduce heat to low depending on your stovetop but you do not want the onions to brown.
• To the pot, add all the spices and potatoes.  Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often to avoid burning/coat each potato with flavor.  Optional, you can add the cumin seeds first and bloom them for 3 minutes before adding the spices and potatoes.
• Once the potatoes are completed coated, increase the heat to high, add the stock or water/paste and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat once boiling and cook for 20-25 minutes.
• Before serving, add a can of coconut milk to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes.
• Serve with fresh cilantro.
