Soup may be made in advance and is easily reheated. Recipe makes about 1 gallon. Makes 32 4-oz servings. Depending on cooking time, precise cooking heat, size of chopped carrots, size of pot, shape of pot the consistency may vary slightly. If it seems a little too thick, add a little more liquid (stock, cream, coconut milk) as desired. If it seems too thin, it needed to cook a little longer to reduce the stock.
