A delicious, light soup that hints of Asia with roasted carrots as its hero. You can have it as thick or thin as you like. So yummy that you'll want to make it again and again.

Instructions
For The Soup
Set the oven to 225 degrees Celsius
Chop the carrots, onions and pepper.
In a mixing bowl pour in 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil, honey, garlic, chilli, ginger and red curry paste. Mix it throughly and set aside.
Take out a steaming pot, and add the water together with 1/2 lemon, coconut flakes, salt, and a spoonful of your mixed paste (from above)
When water is boiling add the steam insert with carrots, pepper and onion and steam for approx 10 minutes or until 'al dente'.
Drain the carrots, peppers and onion but DO NOT throw away the steaming water (this will be your soup base!)
Prepare an oven tray with a sheet of grease proof paper and add your steamed vegetables.
Pour over the rest of the mixed paste and fork it through the vegetables so they all get covered, and add 1 tablespoon of oil.
Roast the vegetables for 10 minutes until golden and soft. I normally check after five minutes and turn them.
Take your roasted vegetables and place them into a cooking pot, and mix them through with your hand processor.
Add the reserved steamed broth to your carrot paste, and mix until desired thickness.
Prepare soup bowls with raw baby spinach and pour over your carrot soup.
Drizzle some sesame oil over each soup and garnish with a few flakes of coconut, and coriander.
Notes
You can serve this to 4 as a starter, or as a generous dinner soup for 2. OR - Just have as much as you want for yourself, and freeze the rest. Enjoy!
