Hi, I'm Mitch Prrenky and today we're
0:05
making a delicious carrot and orange
0:07
soup with coconut yogurt and mint. In
0:09
order to start our soup off, uh we have
0:11
to go to the stove here and uh take a
0:13
pot, little bit of a cooking spray,
0:17
spray our pot. We kind of have it
0:19
getting a little warm already. I have a
0:21
little bit of chopped shallots. We don't
0:22
want to um chop them up any way fancy
0:24
because we're going to uh puree the soup
0:26
later on. Just kind of put them in the
0:28
pan. get them moving around a bit.
0:32
The next thing I uh I'm going to add is
0:34
uh some chopped carrots.
0:38
And this is a great really fresh tasting
0:43
And what I want to do here is I want to
0:44
sweat the vegetables. And when we say
0:46
sweat, we mean to sauté without color.
0:49
So I leave sort of a low flame going
0:54
Keep stirring it. And I'll put a lid on
0:56
it so that the heat kind of comes up and
1:00
uh steams the vegetables a little bit.
1:04
till the vegetables soften. Takes about
1:06
like 10 minutes or so. Once these
1:09
vegetables have uh sweated a bit and uh
1:12
they kind of start to give off their
1:13
their juices, we add a little bit of uh
1:15
fresh carrot juice. I also like to add a
1:18
little bit of water or you can add some
1:24
And we add a little bit of freshsqueezed
1:26
orange juice as well.
1:30
The acidity of the orange juice kind of
1:32
cuts the sweetness of the carrots. Um
1:34
it's kind of a a play on the flavors
1:36
that you might get in sort of a carrot
1:38
cake. Uh having the coconut in the end.
1:40
And uh what I like to do is put the lid
1:42
on and cook for 20 minutes.
1:48
this is what we have. We have an
1:49
immersion blender here. If you don't
1:51
have that, you can also use uh a regular
1:53
bar blender or a food processor. Just
1:55
kind of bring in here.
2:00
You just want to continue uh blending
2:02
with your immersion blender.
2:10
We have a nice smooth consistency here.
2:13
I'm going to uh finish that off with a
2:16
little fresh orange zest.
2:24
put the lid on it and we're just going
2:26
to cover that and keep it warm while we
2:28
make our coconut yogurt.
2:31
And now we're going to make our coconut
2:32
yogurt. It's a delicious creamy topping
2:34
to this uh very fresh carrot and orange
2:40
We have a little bit of a non-fat Greek
2:42
yogurt here. And this is coconut powder.
2:45
Now, if you can't find coconut powder,
2:47
it's very easy to find in Asian
2:48
supermarkets, but if you can't find it,
2:50
you can actually use coconut extract,
2:52
and it's uh it's equally as good. Kind
2:55
of add a little bit of that in there.
2:58
This is fresh chopped mint. That goes
3:02
And then we like to put in just a little
3:07
Kind of sweeten it up just a little bit.
3:09
We have uh some nice sweetness from the
3:10
carrots and the orange um in the soup
3:13
already. That's just going to kind of
3:15
balance it out a little bit. We kind of
3:16
whisk up these ingredients here. And
3:20
that's our finished garnish right over
3:23
there. Um, and now I'm just going to
3:25
plate our soup. We've had our soup here,
3:27
keeping warm. And we're just going to
3:29
ladle out some of this soup. It's good
3:30
hot, good chilled in the summer. And
3:35
we're going to garnish with a little bit
3:36
of this coconut yogurt that has some
3:38
mint in it. Very nice fresh flavors.
3:41
And to uh make it pretty little orange
3:44
segment, little springrig of mint. And
3:47
that is our carrot and orange soup with
3:49
coconut yogurt and mint.
