Slow Cooker Curried Carrot Soup Recipe Notes
Gorgeously golden, subtly sweet, with just a hint of spice from the curry powder, both Rod and I agreed that this soup was delicious when I served it last night as part of a simple supper.
WW Curried Carrot Apple Soup (1 WW SmartPoint)
If you prefer a deeper curry flavor, add an extra teaspoon or two.
While this recipe calls for carrots and apples, I've also made it with carrots, butternut squash and apples and just butternut squash and apples.
Most recently I added a large peeled chopped sweet potato to the carrots and apples, which resulted in a thicker, more bisque like consistency and deeper orange color.
Adding onion, carrot, apple and sweet potato for making soup
I've also had success substituting a cup or two of unsweetened applesauce for the chopped apples.
Clearly this is a soup you can vary to suit your tastes, the season, and what you have available.

Slow Cooker Curried Carrot Soup Recipe
Ingredients
- 8 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 apples, peeled and chopped (I like Granny Smith or Honey Crisp)
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon allspice
- 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth (affiliate link)
- 1 cup milk, dairy or nondairy
- Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
- Ideal slow cooker size: 4-Quart.
- In your slow cooker, combine the carrots, onion, apple, curry powder, garlic, allspice, salt and broth.
- Cover and cook on LOW 8 to 10 hours or until carrots are very tender, and easily split with a fork.
- With an immersion blender (affiliate link), carefully puree the soup until it's silky smooth, being careful not to splatter yourself with the hot soup. (You can also do this in a blender (affiliate link), in batches, again being careful and holding down the lid to avoid being burned by exploding soup)
- Stir in the milk. (I used coconut milk beverage since it's what was in the fridge.)
- Ladle into bowls and sprinkle with cilantro.

I am obsessed with curry lately. This soup was delicious and at only 98 calories per cup, I could indulge in two servings!
paula
A fresh batch of this soup was waiting for me when I came home from work Saturday evening. I didn't add milk and it was still creamy. I was looking for a bit more flavor, though, so I added a few shakes of sweet, hot chili pepper and some allspice from the spice cabinet.
Barb
I made this soup tonight as it was cold and snowy outside. I made a recipe and a half since I had extra carrots I needed to use. I didn't have an extra apple so I added some unsweetened applesauce. It was really tasty.
Martha McKinnon
Hi Barb,
Love the idea of substituting unsweetened applesauce for the apple! Must try to remember that 🙂 Thanks for taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it!
Alicia
I used a can of coconut milk, and it tasted phenomenal. Thank you for the receipt.
Martha McKinnon
Glad you liked it Alicia. Thanks for taking the time to comment. We appreciate it.
Pammy
8 "medium" carrots is relative--what is the volume of the chopped carrots?
Martha McKinnon
Hi Pammy, Sorry, I didn't measure them! The good thing about soup is that it's forgiving enough that measurements don't have to be exact the way you do when baking. Hope this helps!
Pammy
Thanks--my hubby grows 1-2 lb carrots! I'll experiment. My crockpot will be the limiting factor.

I have chronic kidney disease and would love to make some of the reecipes but I need to know the nutritional value of the minerals to do so. Do you have this information? Thank you.

Hi Terry, I don't always provide the mineral details. There is a great free recipe analyzer that might help you. You would just enter
in the recipe ingredients and number of servings and the nutritional values are calculated for you. You'll find this here:https://www.verywellfit.com/recipe-nutrition-analyzer-4157076. Hope it helps! - Martha

Up the calorie intake a little by adding cubes of chicken and leave an amount in the bottom of the crock pot unpureed. I use this recipe (with an extra teaspoon of hot curry powder), regularly with the odd little twist. Ticks all the boxes and I always have friends and colleagues asking me to supply them with a couple of helpings.....
Thanks.
Alyssa
Can you put this soup on high for less time?
Martha McKinnon
Yes, it should cook on High in about half the amount of time. ~Martha
JB
Super easy and delicious! I made it on high for 4 hours instead and it turned out great. Topped it with some fat free Greek yogurt and some chopped dill and served toast on the side.
Marsha McDyre
Delicious! I added a bit of Swerve brown sugar towards the end of cooking. I also made it on the stove in an hour or so.

Jessica
Hi Martha,
I am in the process of making this and threw all the ingredients in, including the milk… will this still come out ok?
Martha McKinnon
Hi Jessica,
I've not added the milk at the beginning. I think the only danger is that it might separate/curdle but should still taste fine. Would love to know how it turns out for you. ~Martha
