It's Autumn,It's Wet, It's time for Soup!

Carrot Soups

What's not to love about carrot soup? 

It's a great choice nutritionally

It's frugal

It's quick

It's satisfying

It's easy to make

It's versatile

AND

It tastes GREAT!

Thanks to my own version of carrot soup  I had 6 vegetables for lunch and there's enough left over for at least 3 more servings. I don't know about you but I don't usually eat 6 different vegetables at lunch time!

Here's my version: 5 carrots, 1 red capsicum, 1/4 cauliflower, 1large shucked corn cob,  1 medium potato and 1 medium red kumara, cooked, blended with stock and water..seasoned to taste.

I cruised pinterest for a while before deciding to adapt a recipe to better suit what ingredients I have but above it a collage of some other tempting carrot soups....

Simple Carrot Soup, one small change and it will be vegan friendly too.

Cream of Carrot Soup, not as fat free as the others but all things in moderation I say!

German Carrot Soup I can't wait to try this one. It doesn't use stock so  a good one for a last minute soup!
