Vegetable broth (4 cups)
Coconut milk (1 can (13.5 oz))
Curry powder (1 teaspoon)

Instructions

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the chopped carrots and diced sweet potatoes to the pot. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until they start to soften.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, carefully puree the soup until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency.
