Tips
To enhance your carrot soup with a touch of originality, add a little orange or lemon zest for a guaranteed freshness effect! You can also add a vegetable or poultry stock cube to the cooking water. On the spice side, you can try to replace the chilli with cumin, curry or coriander, three sure carrot allies.
