Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 pound carrots, peeled, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
N/A freshly ground pepper
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 13.5-ounce can unsweetened coconut milk
2 tablespoons Thai-style chili sauce, plus more for serving
Fresh cilantro leaves (for serving)
Ingredient info: Thai-style chili sauce is available at Asian markets and in the Asian foods section of some supermarkets.

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add carrots and onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring often, until carrots are softened, 15–20 minutes. Stir in broth, coconut milk, and 2 tablespoons chili sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are very soft and liquid is slightly reduced, 40–45 minutes.

    Step 2

    Let soup cool slightly, then purée in a blender until smooth. Reheat in a clean saucepan, thinning with water to desired consistency; season with salt and pepper.

    Step 3

    Divide soup among bowls, drizzle with chili sauce, and top with cilantro.

    Step 4

    DO AHEAD: Soup can be made 3 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill.
