Michelle's Freefrom Carrot & Chili Soup

Corn, egg, gluten, lactose, milk, nut, peanut, sesame, soya & wheat free

from Michelle's book Cooking Gluten, Wheat and Dairy Free

This is a lovely delicately flavoured soup - given a really smooth and creamy texture by the coconut milk. Most of the red chilis you buy in supermarkets are quite mild, but take care you do not pick a Scotch Bonnet, as two would overwhelm the soup!
