If you love light but flavorful soup, this creamy carrot soup recipe is just the thing.
Super healthy too! Carrots are loaded with great nutrients like Vitamins A, C, K, B8, pantothenic acid, folate, potassium, iron, copper, and manganese. They have a ton of antioxidants too!
Here's all it takes to make this yummy, filling soup.
