Spicy Carrot Soup image

A healthy, tasty, and spicy soup I made for Thanksgiving for a Turkish/Japanese crowd, who really enjoyed the heat! I used homemade chili powder from de arbol chilis, and homemade chicken stock instead of vegetable. Simple to make. The chopping takes a little while if you are slow like me, and it cooks for a long time, but does not really need to be attended too much. From a book called 400 Soups. The original recipe also included garlic croutons for topping.
