Ingredients
Spices and Flavorings
- 1 Bay Leaf
- 1 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1 tsp Pepper black, ground
- 1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds
Instructions
- Wash and roughly chop the carrots and tomato.
- Peel and roughly cube the potato.
- Combine the chopped carrots, tomato, potato, garlic cloves, bay leaf, and water in a pressure cooker.
- Cook over medium heat for three whistles. This builds pressure for efficient and even cooking.
- Turn off the heat and allow the pressure to release naturally. This prevents splattering and ensures the vegetables are fully cooked.
- Check for doneness; the vegetables should be easily pierced with a fork. Let the mixture cool slightly.
- Remove and discard the bay leaf. Transfer the cooked vegetables to a blender and purée until smooth.
- In a pan or pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the pureed soup to the pan. Stir in the salt, pepper, and cumin seeds.
- If the soup is too thick, add a little more water until you reach your desired consistency.
- Simmer for two minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve hot and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Potatoes are added to give thickness to the soup. You can omit them or replace them with sweet potatoes.
- Butter can be replaced with olive oil.
- For a vegan version, substitute the butter with olive oil or vegan butter, and finish with a drizzle of coconut milk for added creaminess.
Expert Tips
- For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender directly in the pot. This minimizes the risk of splattering hot soup and makes cleanup easier.
- Adjust the soup's consistency by adding more broth or water for a thinner soup, or simmering uncovered for a thicker soup.
- Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or cilantro for a pop of color and flavor.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth or water if needed to thin it out.
