- Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add leek and fennel, season with salt. Stir occasionally until leek begins to brown, about 3-4 minutes.

- Add the stock, Habanero Carrot Curry sauce, and garbanzo beans. Stir; let heat until bubbling, about 2 minutes. Use an emersion blender under the liquid, pulsing 4-5 times, to break up the ingredients and thicken the soup.
- Add the coconut milk, simmer for 10-15 minutes.
- Taste, season with salt and pepper, as needed.
- Add desired garnishes. Serve warm, enjoy.
