Soup Recipes: Carrot

Ingredients:

3 Carrots
1 small onion
1 small potato
1 tablespoon virgin olive oil
1 flake of garlic
3 cloves
1/2 teaspoon red chilly flakes
Salt to taste

Preparation: Wash and peel carrots and cut into large bits. Similarly, wash potato, peel and chop. Also cut onion and garlic in slices.  Put the chopped carrots, potato, onion, and garlic into a pan. Add cloves. Cover  the vegetables fully with water and boil till vegetables are soft enough for blending.  Turn off the flame and leave to cool. When sufficiently cool blend all ingredients together using a blender.

If you use a hand blender you can blend all the soup ingredients directly in the pan(which mean less washing!! And that’s a huge plus for me, at least!). Add salt and chilly flakes(optional) and bring to boil. You may add a little water if you want to thin the soup a bit. Turn off the flame. Stir in the virgin olive oil and serve soup hot, garnished with a few leaves of fresh coriander.
