As I had earlier mentioned, I’ll be sharing simple recipes using organic produce from Organic foods.

This is a simple heart warming recipe that will not only fill your kitchen with a lovely aroma but will also leave you yearning for more. Cream of carrot soup.

Only a handful of  ingredients for a flavourful soup.

Start by preparing your vegetables. Peel the organic carrots, the organic red onion, ginger and garlic.

Chop the onions.

In a deep sufuria heat two tablespoons of oil.

Add the chopped onions.

Cook the onion until translucent and then add the finely chopped ginger and garlic.

As soon as the ginger and garlic hit the oil, the aroma that fills the kitchen, perfect.

Roughly cut the carrots into pieces.

Add the carrots into the onion mixture and stir.

Pour in the beef stock.

Cover and let the mixture simmer for about 30 minutes or until the carrots are tender.

The liquid will reduce but that’s ok.

Turn off the heat.

You can either use an immersion blender to puree the soup or use a blender.

When using a blender ensure you cover and only fill two thirds of the jug. Blend until smooth.

Pour back in the sufuria and taste for seasoning and adjust accordingly.

Add a pinch of ground nutmeg and stir.

Serve and enjoy.

I added a tablespoon of plain yoghurt in mine.

Some toasted bread to go with it.

Go on try it, you’ll love it.
