Curry Carrot Soup

It's rainy and cold here in Virginia today.  Not the weather I am used to, being from Southern California!  I love making soup on rainy, cold days and today is the perfect day for that!  This recipe is ridiculously easy, delicious and equally good for you!  I often double, or even triple this recipe because it doesn't last long in my house, and makes perfect leftovers for those who prep their meals!  Enjoy!

Curry Carrot Soup

Ingredients

1 Tbsp coconut oil
2 cups onion, chopped
3 cups carrots, peeled and sliced
4 cups vegetable broth
1 tsp curry powder
Salt and pepper to taste

In a large pot, over medium heat, heat coconut oil.  Add onion and sauté 5 minutes or until onions are tender.  Add carrots and curry powder.  Sauté for 5 minutes.  Add broth and salt and pepper to taste and bring soup to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.  Using an emulsion blender or regular blender (may have to do this in batches), blend soup until smooth.  Return soup to pot and heat for an additional 2-3 minutes.
