Thai Curried Carrot Soup

My vegetarian Thai curried carrot soup recipe is so simple and quick, yet it yields an amazingly flavorful soup that is perfect for both a fancy dinner party or a rainy day. The silky smooth texture is full of curried spice, fresh ginger, garlic, lemongrass, and coconut milk. I add a dash of sour cream and lime juice that gives this soup added depth. As you sip it, the layers of flavor unfold on your tongue and just gets better as you sip more. This soup is even better the next day so feel free to make it ahead and simply reheat on the stove. Enjoy!
