On my first try, the taste was not well balanced. I did not enjoy the raw onion flavor, so I decided to cook the soup and serve it warm. I will sauté the onions next time. However, I found the flavors to be quite mild and felt it needed additional seasoning. I did not add celery. Would skipping the celery make a significant difference to the taste? Please advise.

Hello there, Aruna! Cooking the onion first is a lovely idea to mellow the sharpness and add sweetness. Celery does add a subtle depth, but skipping it won’t make or break the soup. If you’d like bolder flavour, you could try extra curry powder, a pinch of chili, or even a squeeze more orange juice 🫶

That’s helpful. 👍 Thank you for the suggestions. I will give this soup another try! 😃

so you add the onion raw to the blender?

Heyy Loes! Yes, the onion goes in raw and blends right in with the other ingredients. It doesn't add as sharp a taste as you'd expect, thanks to the carrots' natural sweetness! You can sauté the onion to mellow its sharpness if you'd like, though ☺️

Can I use pumpkin? I have so many in the garden now.

Hey Deborah! Ohhh what an interesting idea, especially with pumpkins from the garden 🎃 Carrot works really well here because it keeps a nice texture and bright flavour, plus it brings a natural sweetness that balances the other ingredients. We haven’t tried it with pumpkin, but it’s a bit starchier and milder, so it might not give quite the same freshness/sweetness in a chilled soup… but you can always experiment! If you do, I’d suggest swapping only part of the carrots for pumpkin so you keep some of the intended sweetness and vibrancy. Let us know how it turns out if you try it, and have fun experimenting✨

Made this in preparation for the heatwave here in NL, having my first bowl as we speak and I love the freshness of it. I would definitely listen to the title and recommend eating it chilled and not warmed up, it’s when the taste comes out best. Let’s see if it gets me through the next few days 🥵
