A delightful and warming soup featuring carrots, potatoes, and aromatic spices, perfect for a cozy meal.
Peel and chop the carrots and potatoes into small chunks.
Uniformly sized chunks ensure even cooking.
Slice the onion and mince the garlic.
Mincing garlic releases its full flavor.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding ingredients to prevent sticking.
Add the garlic, curry powder, caraway seeds, and onion to the pot. Sauté until the onion is translucent.
Stir frequently to avoid burning the spices.
Add the carrots and potatoes to the pot and sauté for another 5 minutes.
This step enhances the flavor of the vegetables.
Pour in the vegetable broth, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
Check occasionally to ensure the broth doesn't evaporate too much.
Blend the soup to your desired consistency using a hand blender.
For a chunkier texture, blend only part of the soup.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Taste as you season to avoid over-salting.
Serve the soup hot with a side of warm bread.
Garnish with fresh herbs for added flavor and presentation.
