Here's a warm, seasonal treat to satisfy your appetite.

Ingredients

2 pounds carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 6 cups)
5 cups low-sodium chicken broth, canned or homemade
1 dried hot chili pepper, any type (optional)
4 tsp fresh ginger, minced
3 cloves garlic, peeled
1 tsp curry powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
3 tbsp fresh cilantro leaves, chopped

Directions

In a large (5-quart) saucepan, combine all ingredients except cilantro. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes or until the carrots are tender. Transfer the mixture to a food processor in batches, 2-3 cups at a time. Purée until smooth. Return the puree to the saucepan and reheat. Stir in chopped cilantro. Serve promptly.
