Carrot soup is a healthy delicious soup prepared with carrots as it’s the main ingredient. This soup is high in fibre, low in calories and very filling. It also makes for a very quick meal. It’s quite good on its own or you can pair the soup with bread. I’m not very sure it’ll go down well with swallow (:D), You can try it and let me know how it goes.
