2. Start the Soup:
- Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

3. Cook the Vegetables:
- Add the diced carrots and potatoes to the pot and stir well.
- Sprinkle in 1 tsp of ground cumin and stir to coat the vegetables with the spices.
- Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to slightly soften.
4. Simmer the Soup:
- Pour in 3 cups of chicken broth.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots and potatoes are tender.
5. Blend the Soup:
- Remove the pot from heat.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup in batches to a blender, blending until smooth.

7. Serve the Soup:
- Ladle the hot soup into bowls.
- Garnish each bowl with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped coriander leaves.
- Serve with cumin toast on the side.

Tips:
