Equipment

Ingredients

2 to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves chopped
3 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
2 cups chopped cauliflower chopped into small chunks
1 small carrot peeled and chopped
2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
½ cup coconut milk
1 ½ tablespoons soy sauce
1 to 2 tablespoons honey
salt to taste

Instructions

Heat Instant pot to saute mode. When hot, add vegetable oil and then chopped onion and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally for 2 to 3 minutes or until it begins to get translucent.
Stir in red curry paste and saute for 1 to 2 minutes.
Press cancel, and then stir in chopped cauliflower, carrot and stock. Close, making sure the valve is set to sealing and set to manual mode for 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, let the Instant Pot be in warm mode for an additional 10 minutes, then release the pressure.
Blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender or in a Vitamix.
Mix in the coconut milk, soy sauce, honey and salt.
Tip: Taste and season - Salt will depend on the type of stock used. Use honey as needed.
Allow the soup to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This step helps the soup thicken slightly and allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

Notes

When using an immersion blender, be sure to use a large pot to prevent the soup from splashing out.

When using Vitamix or other blenders, let the soup cool slightly before blending.

Make it vegan by using vegetable stock and brown sugar or maple syrup instead of honey.
