Carrot soup is spicy, tasty and apt for the cold weather. It is from Indo- Chinese cuisine.It is vegan, gluten- free and zero oil recipe.
I love soups, they are filling and healthy and hope many will resonate with me. The weather too is perfect to indulge in them.
I had used carrot along with other vegetables but it was not the star ingredient. Today, I have carrot soup, at first, I was wondering if I will ever like it. But, I was mistaken, it’s really good, spicy and zero oil.

Carrots are rich in anti-oxidants, vitamins, mineral and fibre. They help boost the immune system and prevent disease. It may help regulate blood sugar. It may help in preventing night blindness as it is rich in Vitamin A. It lowers the risk of prostrate and colon cancer.

Take a tip:
- Onion may be used, but I have not used. It should be sauted in oil and then the puree must be added to it.
- This, carrot soup is spicy, be careful before blending the red chilli.
- It is good to use stock for soups. If you do not have stock, use water.
