Easy Carrot Soup

A bowl of light and comforting soup always lifts my spirits. Especially soups with beautiful and bright colours like this carrot soup. If you adore carrots in any form this soup is for you. Making soup is also a good way to use up carrots. With only five ingredients and very little effort you can enjoy this healthy dish. 😊 

YOU’LL NEED

Here are the five ingredients you’ll need to make this recipe:

*carrots: any carrot type is fine (for example baby carrot or rainbow mix), please note some varieties are sweeter than others, also cooking time might differ slightly.

*onion: I used white onion, but any onion is fine here. 

*vegetable broth: it adds a depth of flavours to your soup.

*clove garlic: if you don’t mind garlic you can add more.

*olive oil: extra virgin or any oil you use for cooking.

IDEAS & TIPS

Let’s see a few everyday tips:  

*Keep it chunky: cut the carrots into small slices/chunks and omit the step of puréeing it.

*Make it thinner: by adding more water/stock to the soup when cooking it.

*Make a big batch: like most soups, this one also offers the great opportunity to double or triple with ease. Make a big batch and freeze some for later for a speedy midweek meal.

*Add ginger while cooking: a teaspoon of ginger can be very tasty and adds to the nutritional value.

*Add garnishes: there are endless possibilities to finish the soup, see some ideas below.
