Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon curry powder
  • 2 medium russet potatoes about 1-1/2 pounds, peeled and cut into 1-1/2-inch chunks
  • 4 cups chicken broth divided (sub vegetable broth for a vegetarian soup)
  • 1 teaspoon sambal oelek
  • 1 can lite coconut milk 14 ounces
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • Cashews, cilantro, lime wedges and sliced radishes for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • In medium pot, heat oil over medium-low heat. Add garlic, ginger, coriander, turmeric and curry powder. Cook 2 minutes or until very fragrant, stirring constantly.
  • Stir in potatoes, 3 cups broth and sambal oelek. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium; cook 15 to 20 minutes or until potatoes are very tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Carefully transfer mixture to blender and blend until smooth.
  • Transfer blended mixture back to pot set over medium heat. Stir in coconut milk, salt and remaining 1 cup broth. Cook 2 to 3 minutes until heated through.
  • Divide soup between 4 bowls and serve garnished with cashews, cilantro, lime wedges and radishes, if desired.

Notes

  • Home Chef Tip: Toasting the spices in Step 1 "blooms" them and brings out their best flavor. You can use this technique with nearly any spice in any soup to create an intense depth of flavor.
