When I had one of my wisdom teeth taken out last month, this creamy turmeric, potato and carrot soup was a blessing. It is absolutely delicious and I will 100% make it again even when I’m not limited to soft food. Even though it’s a creamy, blended soup, this recipe was super satisfying and filling. It’s one of our new family favorites. With that said, I want to show you how to make it too! So, here we go.

Special Ingredients and Kitchen Equipment Needed

There are definitely a couple specialty kitchen appliances that you’ll need for this creamy turmeric and potato soup. This recipe is supposed to be well blended. So, you’ll most definitely want either a high powered blender, or an immersion blender. Additionally, you’ll want at least a 6 qt dutch oven or a large stock pot. Lastly, you’ll also want a vegetable peeler and a sharp knife for the potatoes and carrots.

So to summarize, you’ll want:

  • High powered blender – This is the one we have that worked amazingly throughout my recovery.
  • Immersion blender
  • 6 qt dutch oven
  • Vegetable peeler
  • Sharp knife

Aside from some specialty kitchen equipment, the ingredients for this recipe are ones you can find at any grocery store. The only “specialty” ingredient you’ll need is tumeric, which you shouldn’t have any issues finding.

This makes a big batch of soup, so you’ll have to add it to the blender in batches, or you can just use an immersion blender for the whole thing.

    This turmeric and potato soup recipe looks insanely good! My husband just found a dairy free heavy cream I can enjoy too so we could totally substitute that into this recipe. Thanks for sharing!

    I recently got a prescription to include a listle more garlic in my diet and this recipe, although not heavy on this ingredient, will work great.
