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.

CREAMY THAI CARROT SOUP (VEGAN)
An adapted recipe from Weight Watchers. Silken tofu replaces cream or milk for a lower fat, lower calorie soup. Increase or decrease the spiciness factor by using more or less gingerroot and/or curry paste. Thanks DJ for the recipe! (And you know who you are!) ;)

Tips:
- Choose the right carrots. Look for carrots that are fresh, firm, and have a deep orange color. Avoid carrots that are limp, bruised, or have blemishes.
- Peel and chop the carrots evenly. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth. This will add flavor and depth to the soup. You can also use chicken or beef broth, if you prefer.
- Don't overcrowd the pot. If you add too many carrots to the pot, they will not cook evenly and the soup will be too thick.
- Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to develop and the carrots to become tender.
- Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of yogurt for extra flavor.
- Serve the soup hot. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley, if desired.
Conclusion:
Thai carrot soup is a delicious and healthy soup that is perfect for a cold day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant color and flavorful broth, this soup is sure to become a favorite in your home.
