Method
In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium to medium-high heat and saute carrots, pumpkin, and onion, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes.
Add the tomato paste, fresh thyme, allspice, bay leaf, cayenne pepper, coriander, curry powder, garlic and salt. Stir to combine.
Add the broth and coconut milk to the pot. When liquid comes to a slight boil, reduce the heat and let simmer until everything is cooked, approximately 30 minutes. Remove the bay leaf.
Season with a little more salt and pepper, to taste.
Using a handheld immersion blender, puree the soup to desired consistency.
Alternatively, purée in a blender, in small batches as necessary. If using a blender make sure the hole in the center of the lid is open to allow steam to escape.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and enjoy!
Notes
I use a curry powder from Lebensbaum or Alnatura. Choose mild or spicy depending on your preference.
