Easy Coconut Curry Soup

Do not miss making this delicious coconut curry soup. This incredible soup is vegan and gluten-free and is loaded with nutrients and fabulous flavor. And the best part? Your high-speed blender does all of the work for you! I can’t explain just how amazing this coconut curry soup is. Just make it, and thank me later.

Use Your High-Speed Blender To Make Coconut Soup

As I mentioned in my minty pea soup post a few weeks ago, Scott and I have been using our 1950’s stove as little as possible this summer as our kitchen gets so hot. So, we’ve been taking advantage of the heating function of our blender.

Our kitchen is above Scott’s recording studio, and so I can’t cook while he’s working. Often, I’ve got less than 30 minutes to get dinner ready (or we’d be eating at 9PM every night), and quick easy meals like this soup are so handy.

Use Low-Carb Spiralized Zucchini Noodles

Scott is diabetic, so I make this soup with spiralized zucchini noodles. (We’re kind of obsessed with our spiralizer stand mixer attachment.) But, in all seriousness, zucchini is not only low in carbs, it’s loaded with nutrition and mineral-rich water. I’ve boosted the nutrient potential further with julienned bell pepper, cilantro, and cashews. These additions also make for beautiful presentation.

This coconut curry soup is one of those super easy staples that makes you look like a gourmet chef in less than 15 minutes, and is always a hit.

Why I use KitchenAid Blenders

I shared this coconut curry soup on the Kitchenthusiast® recipe blog as part of my role as the global spokesperson for KitchenAid® blenders.

This blender is the best machine for making soups because it has the most power at the blade and an insulated thermal control jar that not only heats soup faster than any other blender, but also keeps the soup hotter for longer. The insulated container works in much the same way as an insulated to-go cup.

And because the container has a dual-wall, it remains cool to the touch on the outside while the contents are piping hot inside, and the reinforced lid remains firmly in place while you’re blending hot ingredients. When I’ve used other blender models in the past, I’ve found that the lid can pop off mid-cycle when blending soups, which makes me feel uneasy about leaving the blender running unattended. Because other lids are not reinforced like this one, there is a warping that can occur when you use the blender over time and place the lid in the dishwasher. The lid on the KitchenAid® Pro Line® Series blender is not malleable. It is such a fantastic development in the high-speed blender space.

How To Make This Soup in a Conventional Blender

For those of you who don’t have a high-speed blender just puree this soup in your conventional blender, and then transfer the mixture to a saucepan, and warm it over medium heat for about 5 minutes until hot.
