Carrot Soup

Soups are a great way to get our daily dose of veggies. Me and my husband both love soups and we had a sudden craving for soup!!So i made this carrot soup on a really cold evening and we both loved it..

Carrots are great source of carotene and vitamin A which is essential in our daily diet. If you are like me and don't like them in your salads then this soup is a saver. You can also accompany this soup with some toasted bread and have it as a meal.
