Simplest Soup Ever!

It’s properly turned Autumn on us… no warming, no fading out slowly… no time to realize that yes, summer is actually DONE…. and it’s hit me particularly because for the last 1 week I’ve been cleaning up Kleenex from every single corner of the house… mine AND theirs… which is why soup was the solution…

I’m not a big soup advocate… I’ve never really enjoed a big bowl of mashed or whipped or beaten up vegetable… sorry…. don’t mean to make it sound like mush… but soup was always just that for me.. mush… until I started cooking with my heart and understanding that flavours can be enhanced in so many beautiful ways, even in a soup full of goodness… i.e. vegetables….

Forgive the obvious lack of creativity here with the picture-taking… My efforts were stifled by my blocked nose and inability to breathe without constantly sniffing…. sorry!

This soup is dead easy to throw together… and look at it, I mean it screams healthy… the carrots’ natural vibrant colour can help protect us against cardiovascular disease! and it really just makes you want to eat it! I felt a surge of instant happiness when I slurped it up … and the fact that it had tones of deep, natural spices… well, that’s just an extra added bonus! So whizz this up this week, it’ll be one of the best things you do I tell you!:)
