Heat the oil in a pot, and sauté the onion and garlic over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the onion is translucent. Add the carrots and salt and sauté two minutes more. Add the water and coconut milk, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Add curry and pepper and simmer for 2 minutes more.
Half fill a blender with some of the soup, add the miso, and blend well. (Caution! Blending hot soup can be dangerous. Do not fill the blender more than half-full.) Pour the pureed soup into a large bowl, and continue blending portions until all of it has been pureed. Return the soup to the pot, stir in the grated carrots, and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and serve hot.
