About Carrot Soup
Carrot Soup is made by cooking carrots along with spices, herbs, onion then grinding it to a puree, simmering it until a creamy consistency and finally garnishing it with herbs and spices.
This easy one pot Carrot Soup Recipe is healthy and tastes soo good. You can serve it with croutons or french bread or just toasted bread. This soup is vegan minus the butter but you can replace it with oil. Similar to my Carrot Tomato Soup which is one of the popular recipes here this soup is also rich and flavourful.
I have not added milk or cream here but feel free to add it if you like it extra rich and creamy. I have made this soup to suit kids and elders an everyday soup kind so made it simple.
This silky smooth creamy soup is so rich even without the addition of cream and tastes so delicious. You can make Cream of Carrot Soup by adding fresh cream may be 1/2 cup. Soup with bread makes it a comforting combo do try and enjoy!
Not being a soup person I love this soup for its slight sweetness from the carrots with a hint of hotness from the pepper yumm soup perfect for this chilly weather now in Coimbatore.
