One of my earlier memories with my Aunt Jill involves going to the grocery store in Portland, Oregon, to buy carrots for her horse, Kermit. So it’s fitting that the very Aunt Jill who took me carrot shopping so many years ago is providing us with this amazing 21 Day Fix Thai Carrot Soup recipe today. This recipe also includes WW points and Instant Pot instructions!
My mom actually came over and made this one day, and we made some tweaks to keep it 21 Day Fix-friendly. There also some modifications you can make if you like it hot (I don’t, so we kept it mellow for me…but kicked the heat up for Charles!).
This thai carrot soup freezes well, makes great leftovers, and goes well with a protein or a salad. Enjoy!
21 Day Fix Thai Carrot Soup
If you like it spicy, you can add some sriracha (either while you’re cooking it, or, like we did, as a garnish).
What I love about this recipe is that you get a full green in!
Serves 4 (each serving is about 1 1/4 cups)
Ingredients
- 1 lb carrots, peeled and chopped
- 4 cups low-sodium, fat-free chicken broth
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 3 cloves garlic, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon avocado or extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter (if you have enough teaspoons, increase it to 1/4 cup – and if you’re not following the 21 Day Fix eating plan, by all means, take it up to 1/3 cup)
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon curry
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- salt/pepper to taste
- Optional, for garnish: peanuts, parsley or cilantro, sriracha
In a large skillet, sautee onions, garlic and carrots with the oil until onions are translucent. Transfer to a large saucepan and add broth, peanut butter and spices.
Cook until carrots are tender.
Blend soup until smooth.
Garnish with peanuts, parsley and sriracha (if you want some kick – I left it off of mine!).

Great recipe for my husband who loves soup! I added a little fresh lemon juice, it perks up the soup a little and sneaks in a little Vitamin C!
Ooooh, good idea!
Love your blog and recipes! Just a note that the latest food list shows chicken broth (4 cups) under Yellow so I think this would could as 1/4 yellow instead of 1/4 red now!
Thanks for catching that Maddy!
Thanks for making this video. I had this soup in Pret a Manger and it is beautiful. Now thanks to you I have the recipe. Can’t wait to make it.
I hope you love it! I made it a couple weeks ago…it’s a favorite of mine.
