I always have a ton of carrots lying around, so I thought I would try my hand at making carrot soup! I’ve never had it before, and it was really good. My game plan is to have a cup with my lunch and dinner to fill me up. There are many different varieties, this recipe I used was from www.cooks.com. I didn’t have a leek, so I left that out, and I used skim milk instead of the buttermilk or yogurt (it helps to make sure you have all the ingredients before you get started!) I have a blender stick, so I pureed my soup using that, otherwise, you can use a blender.
Ingredients
5 cups chicken stock or low-sodium broth
1 pound carrots, coarsely chopped
2 medium celery ribs, coarsely chopped
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
1 leek, white and tender green parts only, coarsely chopped
1 small baking potato (6 ounces), peeled and coarsely chopped
11/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup low-fat buttermilk or yogurt
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
Directions
In a large pot, combine the stock with the carrots, celery, onion, leek, potato, cumin, paprika and cayenne and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over low heat until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
Working in batches, puree the soup in a blender or food processor, then return to the pot. Stir in the buttermilk and season with salt and pepper. Reheat gently. Ladle into bowls, sprinkle with the parsley and serve.

I have never tried carrot soup before! But it sounds so good with all that!
Love the smokey, spicy taste with cumin, cayenne and paprika. Carrot soup is a wonderful thing to have when you’re sick too! You should try ginger or dill in it. Sooo good!
