Vegan Carrot Soup YUM!

I have to share one of the best soup recipes ever with you. It is this Vegan Carrot Soup recipe from AllRecipes.com.

It is vegan, chock full of veggies and perfect with a small salad and hunk of bread... so nobody has an excuse to not make this!

I made mine with sweet potatoes instead of regular for more nutrients. I've marked my other modifications in the recipe below:

Vegan Carrot Soup from AllRecipes

INGREDIENTS

* 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
* 1 large onion, diced
* 3 cloves garlic, minced (I used minced garlic from a jar)
* 4 large carrots, sliced (I used 8, cut into large chunks)
* 5 new potatoes, quartered (I used 2 big sweets, cut into large chunks)
* 2 cups vegetable broth (1 large can plus extra water as needed)
* 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger (didn't use- don't have!)
* 1 teaspoon curry powder
* salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and cook stirring often until onion is translucent. Add carrots and potatoes, and cook for just a few minutes to allow the carrots to sweat out some of their juices.
2. Pour the vegetable broth into the pot, and season with ginger, curry powder, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until carrots are tender.
3. Puree soup in small batches using a food processor or blender, or if you have an immersion blender, it can be done in the soup pot. Reheat soup if necessary, and serve. (Hello, VitaMix! Spoil me on this one, please! I used a $15 blender and it worked okay. During this step I added more than a cup of water and it still came out super thick.)

Let me know if you try it and what you think of it!
