Use 2 Tbsp olive oil, not 2 tsp.
Replace cumin with curry. Boom!
This was good and used changes to make it far easier to make including: 1) chopping carrots and sweet potatoes-no shredding needed 2) used 1 Tbl spoon of curry & 1 Tbl of cumin 3) used only 4 cups of vegetable broth 4) used immersion blender but leave some carrot coins for texture 5) garnishes used were lemon juice, cilantro & yogurt

Darn, I wish I read the notes first.,Agree with folks who found it watery and bland. Should have reduced broth by a lot. It sounded good..
I replaced the cumin with coriander. The flavor was good, but I wasn't that fond of the texture. I think I'll stick with creamy carrot soup.
