Thai-Inspired Creamy Carrot and Sweet Potato Soup with Mixed Mushrooms

I do like a thick and creamy soup, however as is commonly the case, soups are not best forgiving, but also very clean to modify to in shape choices, so skinny out the soup as tons or as low as desired. Serve it up with grains, flat breads, or even a few thick slices of crusty bread.
