I love this soup, it's so easy to make (especially if you grate the carrots in a processor) and so warming. The cumin and coconut milk give it a subtle indian vibe, without being over-powering.
TOP TIPS FOR MAKING THE SPICY CARROT SOUP
- For extra heat, add a fresh chopped red chilli at the same time as the onion.
- The soup can be frozen for up to 6 months.
