2 Great Carrot Soup Recipes

Carrot Soup Recipe #1

(Serves 4)

This is a great hearty carrot soup recipe for the winter. The added rice thickens the soup, making it feel heavier and more filling.

Ingredients:

1-2 – Onions
6-8 – Carrots (or olive oil as a healthier alternative)
2 tbsp – Butter
1 litre – vegetable or chicken stock
1/2 – Cup Rice
Salt and Pepper

Method:

Finely chop the onions and carrots.
Melt the butter in a pan, and add the chopped onions and carrots.
Cook for around 7 minutes, until they start to go clear.
Add chicken or veg stock (boiling water with a stock cube will do).
When simmering, add the half cup of rice.
Cook for 15 to 20 minutes.
Blend with a hand blender.
Season to taste.
Serve in bowls.
