Curried Carrot Soup - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 (14 1/2 ounce) cans chicken broth (use vegetable broth for vegetarian or vegan version) or (14 1/2 ounce) cans vegetable broth (use vegetable broth for vegetarian or vegan version)
2 lbs carrots, cleaned and cut into 2 inch lengths
1 large onion, chopped
1 tablespoon butter (or oil for vegans)
2 1/2 tablespoons curry powder
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3/4 cup cream (skip for vegans) (optional)
salt and pepper

Preparation

Saute in a large pot, the onion with the butter until translucent. Add the broth and carrots and bring to a boil.
Add all the spices and continue to boil until the carrots are cooked through.
In a food processor or blender, puree the soup until the texture is smooth. You will need to do this in batches so that it doesn't over flow.
Return to the pot and stir, adjusting the salt and pepper if needed. Mix in the cream for a creamy and indulgent version. Serve hot.
