Servings: Serves four to six
Rated :  Not yet rated
Ingredients
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1-1/2 pounds carrots, cut into 1-inch chunks (about 4 cups)
1 large yellow onion, cut into 1-inch chunks
3 large cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon curry powder
3 cups lower-salt chicken broth
Kosher salt
1-1/2 cups carrot juice; more as needed
1/4 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves
Freshly ground black pepper
Chopped peanuts, for garnish (optional)

Directions
1. Heat the oil in a 10- or 11-inch straight-sided saute pan over medium-high heat until hot. Add the carrots and then the onion. Cook, stirring very little at first and more frequently towards the end, until the vegetables are golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes.
2. Add the garlic and curry and cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds. Add the broth and 1/2 tsp. salt and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the vegetables are very tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the carrot juice and cilantro.
3. Puree the soup in a blender, working in two batches and making sure to vent the blender by removing the pop-up center or lifting one edge of the top (drape a towel over the top to keep the soup from leaking).
4. Return the soup to the pan, heat through, and season to taste with salt and pepper. If necessary, add more carrot juice to thin to your liking. Ladle into bowls and serve, sprinkled with the peanuts, if using.
