I’m preparing this soup for first time. So not sure it would
turn good J
But! Yes! It was good!! I prepared this soup for today’s dinner along with Oats Upma . Carrot soup is one easy recipe, that won’t fail you. I learned this secret
today. Usually I’m not a big fan of adding cream to recipes, especially soup.
But today thought to try something new, so got this cream from grocery, especially
for preparing this soup. I like the taste. I added it finally while serving,
only to my bowl, as my husband is not interested in creams.
This carrot soup is very filling. Good choice for dinner
menu.
Ingredients:
Carrots – 2 (medium size)
Onion chopped – 1 tbsp
Garlic pods – 2 big
Sugar – ½ tsp
Pepper corns – 3 numbers
Bay leaf – 1
Butter/Oil – 1 tbsp
Cream – 1 tsp (optional) (if adding, add as per your taste)
Corn flour -1/2 tsp (optional)
Water – 2 cups
Croutons
Method:
Wash the carrots, peel off the skin and chop.
Chop the garlic pods coarsely.
Heat butter/oil in pressure cooker.
Add bay leaf, garlic, pepper corns, onion and fry till the onions
turn translucent.
Now add the chopped carrot and saute for 3 min.
Add ½ cup water and cook.
Switch off the stove after 3 whistles and cool the mix.
Transfer the mix to the blender and grind them to a smooth
paste.
Add the paste to the same cooker and add remaining 1 ½ cups
of water.
Add sugar and bring the soup to boil. (Boiling time 5 to
7 min)
Mix the corn flour in 2 tbsp water and pour it to the boiling
soup.
Remove from heat and add cream.
Serve hot topping the soup with croutons, salt and pepper
powder.
Note: Adding cream is optional, if you are adding; add after
removing from heat or while serving. I added while serving.
Adding corn flour is also optional if you like the soup
little watery.
