- 1/2 tsp tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper

- Then, add carrots and all the spices (salt, pepper, curry, corriander, cayenne pepper and garlic powder.)
- Stir all together to comnine and add vegetable broth.
- Bring it to a boil, cook with lid partially on, until carrots are tender. It is about 20 minutes.
- Using an immersion hand blender or a counter-top blender puree the carrots. Taste and add any extra seasonings, if necessary.
- Serve topped with fresh parsley and peanuts.
Notes
- If you find the soup too thick for your liking, you can add more broth to thin it out.
- If you are using a blender, you have to have a way for the steam to release. Always be careful blending hot soup.
- You can swap for fresh minced garlic in place of the garlic powder.
- To store: Store leftover carrot soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- To reheat: Reheat the soup in the microwave or on the stovetop until hot. Since it's thick, you'll need to stir it throughout.
- To freeze: Freeze the soup for up to 3 months. Make sure you leave space when freezing as liquid expands as it freezes.
