Spicy Carrot, Coconut & Cumin Soup

It’s the sweetness of the carrots and the coconut that smooth out the spices in this soup. The turmeric imparts a subtle taste and colour, but here the cumin comes to the fore. Though best eaten on a cold day, this soup chills well and is an excellent picnic soup. The coriander or tarragon leaves stirred in at the time of serving add a fresh taste – either will complement the soup nicely.
