Well guys, if you're looking for a good carrot soup, look no further! I made a wonderful carrot and coconut soup for lunch today after Lotta kindly shared the recipe with me yesterday. Now let me tell you, I am a carrot's biggest fan! Two or three bottles of carrot juice are consumed weekly in this house and nothing is tastier than a carrot muffin (at least I think so!). Carrot soup of course, as you can imagine, is the ultimate cold weather soup for me. And this one was delicious! It came just at the right time, as I have caught a bit of a cold. Not just yummy but good for you too! Here's the recipe Lotta shared with me. I'm sure she wouldn't mind me sharing it with you!
NOTE: I omitted the creme fraiche and the pistachios and it was still great!
