Curried Carrot-Coconut Soup

It's been a cold winter. Too cold for my liking. I hate the cold, to be honest (Ironic, considering I am a figure skater...). This winter has felt very loooooooong. Way too many single-digit days. Brrrr. I told my Dad that I think I have permanent goose bumps from being ceaselessly freezing since October. Not cool.
When I'm cold, there is one thing I want: soup. Well, and oatmeal. But that's for a different post! This soup warms you from the inside out. This is the soup to eat on those single-digit "bone chilling cold" days. Creamy coconut milk, spicy curry, silky carrots, and just a hint of sweetness all packed into a delicious bowl of steaming hot goodness. Did someone say 10 degrees tomorrow? Bring It. 
Curried Carrot-Coconut Soup.
