Thai Sweet Potato and Carrot Soup Ingredients Breakdown

Carrots: Carrots add a vibrant orange color and a slightly earthy flavor, and when cooked, they soften into a velvety, smooth texture.

Sweet Potatoes: Sweet potatoes bring sweetness and a creamy texture that pairs with the carrots to create a rich, indulgent base for the soup.

Almond Butter: Almond butter truly sets this soup apart. Its creamy, nutty flavor adds a unique richness, enhancing the soup’s texture and depth.

Coconut Milk: Coconut milk bolsters the soup’s creamy, rich texture while adding a mild sweetness and a hint of tropical flavor that balances the spices.

Red Curry Paste: Made from a blend of red chilies, garlic, lemongrass, and other aromatic herbs, this fiery paste delivers a complex, spicy kick that enlivens the dish with a burst of Thai flavor.

Ginger and Garlic: Ginger adds a zesty, slightly spicy note that complements the sweetness of the carrots and sweet potatoes, while garlic offers a savory, pungent flavor that rounds out the dish.

Vegetable Broth: Serving as the base, vegetable broth provides a savory, umami flavor that enhances all the other ingredients.

Lime Juice: A squeeze of lime juice at the end brightens up the soup, adding a touch of acidity that balances the richness of the coconut milk.

Cilantro: Cilantro is used as a garnish, adding a pop of color and enhancing the overall Thai-inspired profile of the soup.
