    I need to get myself some cast iron cookware so I can start tasting these open fire recipes. Don't worry, this carrot curry soup has been taste-tested and it's melt-your-face-off spicy! I know because I accidentally tasted it...with my eye. Ouch! You can easily adjust the spice to your preference though. And you don't have to sustain any eye injuries either.

    To be clear, this is more of my mom's recipe instead of mine. You might remember when she and I made the open fire veggie curry last year using her open fire cooking setup and her cookware. To get anyone new caught up, since I'm gluten intolerant and very sensitive to cross contamination of gluten, I can't use other people's cookware if it potentially contains traces of gluten. That's why I wasn't able to taste-test this recipe. My mom came up with the basic recipe and I provided input and did the seasonings while she taste-tested.

    I have to applaud her for trying the dried chilies too. I asked that she try them to see how spicy they are so I know how many to add. Here's her feedback - "Oh... I'm too scared...can't I just Google it?!" And feedback from attempt #2 "Ok, it's not that bad".

    Thanks, Mom!

    So spice level will depend on a few things:

    • Dried chilies - spiciness can be adjusted by changing the number of chilies you use, removing or retaining the seeds, and removing or retaining the chilies before blending the soup.
    • Curry powder - the brand of curry powder you use may be more or less spicy. We used Penzeys the now curry.
    • Cayenne - adjust the amount or omit completely.

    If you're new to open fire cooking, I've previously written about two different open fire setups as well as equipment I recommend. Additionally, for this recipe, you'll need a 5 quart cast iron dutch oven as opposed to the large rectangular one I mentioned in the other post. You'll also want an immersion blender which means you'll need access to electricity unless you have a cordless one. I was looking for one online and found this cordless immersion blender. It comes with a bunch of bells and whistles but probably a good option if you're camping instead of doing this in your backyard like we did. Does anyone recommend a more basic, cheaper option that I could link to? I'm thinking the rechargeable variety must be harder to find for safety reasons - you wouldn't want electricity running to it while disassembling or cleaning it! Nobody wants their fingers cut off. Nobody.

    Why are outdoor photos so hard? And even harder midday without a cloud in the sky? Or shade? If I were home, photographing indoors, I'd just prop a diffuser up in front of the window but I wasn't planning on getting anything too fancy while we were outside. Just a few process photos but they were so overexposed that I couldn't use them. I ended up holding an umbrella up over my food with my left hand and my camera with my right hand to try to diffuse the sunlight a bit while I got photos of the finished product outside. Good enough, I guess!

    Description

    Spicy carrot curry soup cooked outdoors over an open fire. This soup is vegan, gluten free, and paleo.


    Ingredients

    • 1-2 dried red chilies, depending on your spice preference. Remove seeds if you'd like it on the milder side.
    • 2 Tbsp olive oil
    • 2 lbs orange carrots, diced very small (smaller pieces will cook faster)
    • 2 Tbsp curry powder (we used Penzeys the now curry)
    • 1 tsp coriander
    • ½ tsp cayenne, optional
    • ⅓ C water
    • 8 C (two 32 oz cartons) of vegetable broth
    • 1 can full fat coconut milk plus an additional can for serving.

    Instructions

    1. Heat a 5 quart cast iron dutch oven over an open fire.
    2. Once the pot is heated, add the chilies and allow to toast for a bit on each side.
    3. As soon as the chilies are lightly toasted, add the olive oil, carrots, then spices (curry powder, coriander, and cayenne if you like it extra spicy) and stir to coat.
    4. Pour in the water and cover with the lid which allows the carrots to steam. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are fork-tender.
    5. After the carrots are softened, the chilies will be re-hydrated. You can either remove these now or keep them in the pot to blend up and increase the spice level.
    6. Remove from heat and add vegetable broth and one can of coconut milk. Use an immersion blender (cordless if you don't have access to electricity where you're cooking) to combine until very smooth. I recommend protecting your clothes and eyes because splatters will stain badly and burn your eyes. I know from experience.
    7. The soup may be cooler now from adding the extra liquids and blending so return to the heat (uncovered is fine) and stir occasionally until the soup is warmed enough to serve.
    8. Serve with optional coconut milk to stir in and garnish with carrot tops, if desired.

    Notes

    To adjust the spice level, there are several things you can do. With the dried chilies, you can adjust the number of chilies you use or omit completely, remove or retain the seeds, and remove or retain the chilies before blending the soup. The brand of curry powder you use may be more or less spicy. We used Penzeys the now curry. Additionally, you can adjust the amount of cayenne or omit it completely.

      This is a delicious fall soup. I put some of it in the freezer since the recipe makes so much.

    I started out with a passion for creating unique recipes and decorating cakes. In June of 2012, I discovered I was not only severely gluten intolerant but also, many of the foods I was eating I simply couldn't include in my diet anymore. Fortunately, my love for trying new recipes, ingredients, and cooking methods made re-learning how to cook seem more like a fun challenge than an unfortunate circumstance. I'm so happy to say that my dietary restrictions haven't stopped me from doing what I love. I hope you enjoy these recipes as much as I do.

    I almost didn’t make this into a casserole becau I almost didn’t make this into a casserole because the sauce and pasta combined made a delicious side dish on their own! @beldolcefood #sponsored my most recent blog post and provided me with their new gluten free fusilli and penne to try out. I used the fusilli in this recipe and the sauce is a creamy, cheesy enchilada sauce made from just 3 ingredients.
.
I ended up adding taco meat, fire roasted tomatoes, corn, black beans, and dairy free cheese to make a taco noodle casserole. Then we ate it all and I made it again! This is one of those recipes that will be going in our regular meal rotation.
.
This is a pretty versatile recipe. It can be made vegan just by leaving out the meat and it’s just as good. And as I said earlier, the pasta with just the sauce makes a really good side dish. You can also top it with whatever you like such as cilantro, jalapeños, sour cream, scallions, or salsa.

    I’ll just say it - I’m one of those bloggers t I’ll just say it - I’m one of those bloggers that makes cakes for their blogs “birthdays”. Or uses the blog birthdays as an excuse to make yet another cake recipe....yeah, that’s probably more accurate.
.
Definitely felt like I needed a good excuse for this one because it’s my fifth variation of gooey butter cake! However, my site is seven years old so maybe I should have had seven gooey butter cakes ready to go? Guess I’d better get caught up before year eight 😉
.
Anyways, I really enjoyed this carrot cake variation of gooey butter cake. The cake layer/crust swaps out the yellow cake mix with spice cake mix and I added in some shredded carrots and raisins. I kept the “gooey” top layer the same except that I topped it with a sprinkle of cinnamon and additional raisins before baking.

    Couldn’t decide which to use on his birthday inv Couldn’t decide which to use on his birthday invites so got a big trifold card and used almost all of them 😅 This is the first time he’s cooperated (sort of) for his “milestone block” photos since he learned to roll over so it’s been a long time!
    Here are a few last minute treat ideas! The carame Here are a few last minute treat ideas! The caramel stuffed crispy rice treats recipe is written below. The other recipes (gooey butter cookies, salted caramel turtles, and pumpkin snickerdoodles) can be found at the link in my bio!
.
CARAMEL STUFFED CRISPY RICE TREATS
.
INGREDIENTS
.
• ¼ C dairy free butter, divided
• 4 C mini marshmallows (regular and vegan both work), divided
• 6 C gluten free rice cereal *see notes*
• 1 tsp vanilla extract, divided
• 10-11 oz dairy free chewy caramels
• 11.25 oz can sweetened condensed coconut milk
.
DIRECTIONS
.
1. Melt 2 tablespoons of the dairy free butter in a medium sauce pan over medium-low heat. Add 2 cups of marshmallows and stir until they are melted with no lumps.
2. Remove from heat and stir in ½ tsp of vanilla then gently fold in 3 cups of cereal until it is well-combined with the marshmallows.
3. Using wet hands, press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a 7x11 inch casserole dish and set aside.
4. Unwrap the caramels and add them along with the sweetened condensed coconut milk to a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir often to avoid burning. Once this has turned to a completely smooth sauce, pour over the cereal layer.
5. Make your top cereal layer by repeating steps 1 and 2. Distribute this evenly over the caramel layer and pat down with wet hands.
6. Once the treats have cooled down, they will firm up and hold their shape when cut. Cut into squares and serve.
.
NOTES
.
• Potential allergens contained in this recipe may vary due to brands of ingredients used, product reformulations, etc. Please verify that all your ingredients are safe for you to consume and always be mindful of allergen cross contamination while cooking.
• Double check that the cereal you use is gluten free. At least one brand carries 2 different versions of rice cereal and only one is GF.
• Don't make both cereal layers in one large batch then divide it up. The top layer will cool and firm up before you can layer it on which will make the caramel seep out when you press it down.
