Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon ground ginger
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
• 2 teaspoons curry powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro (Optional)
• 2 pounds carrots, peeled and chopped
• 14 ounces water

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Pour the vegetable broth into a soup pot, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir in the curry powder, cumin, cinnamon, and ginger; add the carrots. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until the carrots are tender, about 20 minutes, stirring often.

Step 2

Strain out the carrots from the broth, and place carrots into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Pour about 1/4 cup vegetable broth into the blender to allow the carrots to puree. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the carrots moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth, if needed; return the pureed carrots to the vegetable broth. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the carrots right in the cooking pot.

Step 3

Stir in the coconut milk and the water (use the coconut milk can to measure). Bring back to a simmer; sprinkle with cilantro to serve.
