Ingredients

• 3 ripe bananas
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
• 2 teaspoons curry powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk, full-fat
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel and slice the bananas into small chunks. Set aside.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened and translucent.

Step 4

Add the garlic and grated ginger to the pot. Stir and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the curry powder, ground cumin, and ground coriander. Cook the spices for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, to toast and release their aroma.

Step 6

Add the sliced bananas to the pot and mix well to coat them with the spices.

Step 7

Pour in the vegetable broth, bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes.

Step 8

Add the coconut milk and stir gently to combine. Let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, blend the soup in batches in a countertop blender, then return it to the pot.

Step 10

Stir in the lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 11

Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh cilantro. Pair with crusty bread or a side of basmati rice if desired.
