Preparation Steps

  • Turn on your Instant Pot's sauté feature and add olive oil. When fragrant, add chopped white onion and garlic. Sauté for 4 minutes until onions are translucent.
  • Add diced sweet potatoes, chopped carrots, grated ginger, red curry paste, coconut milk, vegetable broth, and salt. Stir to combine.
  • Turn off the sauté feature, close the Instant Pot lid, set the valve to seal, and set to manual high pressure for 3 minutes. It will take 10-15 minutes to reach pressure.
  • After cooking, perform a quick release by opening the vent and letting steam escape. Open the lid and stir the soup.
  • Check that the sweet potatoes and carrots are fully cooked using a fork. If needed, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on high pressure.
  • Use a high-speed blender or immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Add more vegetable broth if a thinner consistency is desired.
  • Add fresh lime juice and blend briefly once more to combine.
  • Serve immediately topped with fresh cilantro, minced red onion, and a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning.

Notes

This soup freezes well and can be reheated gently for an easy meal. Adjust the spice level by varying the amount of curry paste according to your taste.
