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.

- Step 2: Blitz in a blender and serve with crusty bread
I have some leftover coconut milk waiting to be used up and this would be a perfect dish. I may make some chilli cheese scones to have to go with it. mmmm
