Instructions:
-
In a saucepan over low heat, sauté the onions in vegetable oil until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
-
Add the minced garlic and continue cooking until the garlic becomes fragrant and just begins to soften, approximately 1-2 minutes.
-
Increase the heat to medium-high and pour in the vegetable broth, adding the blackstrap molasses, curry powder, kidney beans, and sliced carrots to the pan. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
-
Once the soup begins to boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and allow it to simmer uncovered. Let it cook for about 30-35 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and the soup has thickened to your desired consistency, stirring occasionally.
-
Stir in the vinegar to add a tangy twist to the soup. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.

Serve the Molasses Carrot Curry hot in bowls, garnished with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired. Enjoy the comforting warmth and rich flavors of this delightful curry soup!
