Creamy Thai Carrot Soup (Vegan) image

An adapted recipe from Weight Watchers. Silken tofu replaces cream or milk for a lower fat, lower calorie soup. Increase or decrease the spiciness factor by using more or less gingerroot and/or curry paste. Thanks DJ for the recipe! (And you know who you are!) ;)
