THAI CARROT SOUP
This is a soup that I used to sell at my Farmer's Market, that was very popular. If you omit the sour cream garnish, this recipe is Vegan. Besides being Vegan, it is delicious.

Steps:
- Wash, trim and chop carrots, celery and onion. Place in soup pot with the butter. Cook on Medium- low heat about 20 minutes or until vegetables start to develop color and onion is clear.
- Add water, bullion, lentils, reserved celery tops (chopped) and parsley. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer on medium heat for 15-20 minutes.
- Add Instant rice and simmer for another 10-15 minutes.
- Use an immersion blender and blend until smooth. If you don't have one you can blend in a regular blender then return to the soup pot.
- Add milk (you can add more or less if you feel the soup is to thick or if you think 1 cup may thin it too much) and salt/ pepper if desired.
- Heat on low until just heated through. We skip this step because by now my family is hungry and eager for dinner, lol. We like how the milk cools it down enough to be able to eat it right away anyway.
- Serve with bread (if desired) and enjoy!

Yukon Gold potatoes-instead of cream-make a smooth carrot soup vegan and add a mild sweetness. If you don't have Yukon Golds on hand, russet potatoes will work, too. -Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Tips:
- For a smoother soup, blend the carrots and coconut milk until completely smooth before adding the other ingredients.
- If you don't have a blender, you can use an immersion blender to blend the carrots and coconut milk.
- For a spicier soup, add more red curry paste or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- If you don't have any vegetable broth, you can use water instead. However, the soup will be less flavorful.
- Serve the soup with a dollop of coconut yogurt or sour cream, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or lime zest.
