Ingredient List

3 tablespoons butter
3 cups coarsely chopped onions
8 cups chopped peeled carrots (2 1/2 to 3 lb)
2-inch piece gingerroot, halved, smashed
1 tablespoon red curry paste
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons fish sauce
2 cans (13.66 oz each) unsweetened coconut milk (not cream of coconut)
2 cups Mountain High® original plain yoghurt
Juice of 2 limes (about 1/4 cup)
2 tablespoons chopped roasted peanuts
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Preparation

In 6-quart stockpot, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onions; cook, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes or until translucent and slightly browned. Add carrots and gingerroot; cook 5 to 7 minutes longer or until browned.
Add curry paste, and toss to coat. Cook 2 minutes longer.
Add soy sauce, honey, fish sauce and coconut milk. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer 30 to 35 minutes or until carrots are tender.
Cool soup slightly. Puree in batches in blender. Return to stockpot over medium heat. Add yoghurt and lime juice; stir until hot. Pour into 8 bowls. Top with peanuts and cilantro. Serve immediately.

Tips

If you like it hot, add one more tablespoon of the curry paste for extra kick.
Yoghurt helps temper spicy foods; consider stirring some in the next time you make a dish that turns out a little too spicy.
