Instant Pot Coconut Curry Chickpeas

May 15, 2018 By Holly 6 Comments

Like so many others, I’ve become somewhat of an Instant Pot fanatic. When I first bought my Instant Pot, it sat in the box for about six months, coming out only to serve as a glorified rice maker. Now, don’t get me wrong, it’s a great rice maker, but I didn’t really appreciate just how great this kitchen instrument was until I started using it to fast track healthy dinners for my family. Over the past year, it’s become a go-to tool for soups, stews, roasts, and countless large batches of quinoa. I love that it allows me to produce meals that taste like I’ve been working on them all day, but in reality, came together in less than an hour.  My latest IP favorite? This simple recipe for Instant Pot Coconut Curry Chickpeas.

Thai Chicken Soup

Thai Chicken Soup

As I sit here in my yoga pants and sweatshirt (don’t judge-it’s the weekend!), listening to the breeze ruffle the leaves, I think I finally have to admit summer is over.  I am crying inside knowing that it will be a long 9 months until I can swim in the lake (fellow Minnesotans know this is actually quite optimistic, but let me have my delusions).   But for all of those tears, I am also secretly excited for the beauties of fall.  Football games, gorgeous brilliant leaves in all colors of the rainbow, sweatshirts (I really love them enough to give them two mentions) and of course…soup.  And for the perfect meal to straddle that summer into fall weather… Thai Chicken Soup.  …

Carrot Ginger Soup with Coconut Shrimp

February 19, 2016 By Lane 1 Comment

Carrot ginger soup overhead

This Carrot Ginger Soup with Coconut Shrimp was course number 3 in our epic dinner party.  (P.S.-don’t worry if you’re having a hard time following along with our dinner party menu reveal, I promise to post the entire menu in order, with links, in a few weeks. And if you just can’t wait, it was already posted on twitter so you can check it out there!).  We knew we wanted a soup course to follow our Pomegranate, Squash and Apple salad.  While we were initially dreaming up plans for our blog we had a lot of “business” lunches at Lakeshore Grill at Macy’s in Ridgedale (which has been totally redone, and if you haven’t checked it out you definitely should!).  Their summer soup was a carrot scallion soup that was so good, I would order it for lunch and then order a cup to take with me to my evening shift at work.  Looking around the internet for a soup that would be similar to this one, brought us to this Carrot Ginger Soup with Coconut Shrimp from Food and Wine.  Holly made the soup first, and interestingly enough, this soup is not really similar to the carrot scallion we loved-but it is fabulous in its own right, so fabulous that we decided to add it to our dinner party menu.  Sometimes you find exactly what you need, exactly when you need it!

Carrot ginger soup side

I first made this soup for some friends while up at my cabin.  My friends loved it and the soup was given rave reviews.  This soup is creamy and bright, with a hint of heat that is well balanced by the coconut shrimp.  It is ridiculously simple to make and yet tastes complex.  We served our soup not only with the coconut shrimp, but also with a peanut-cilantro gremolata.  So delicious, your guests will thank you!

And if anyone has a recipe for a good Carrot Scallion soup, please let us know, we are still looking!

Carrot Ginger Soup with Coconut Shrimp

This a simple yet elegant soup that tastes impressively complex. I personally think that the soup tastes better after sitting overnight, however it can be eaten right away if you just can't wait!
