Packed with the goodness of carrots, this creamy soup is filling too. Kids would definitely love it. Its a good way to include some wholesome veggies to your diet. Its an easy one pot soup making it a no stress, no mess recipe.
Now to the recipe…
[Preparation Time – 10 mins : Cooking Time- 15 mins]
Ingredients:
- Carrots – 5
- Onion – 1
- Garlic – 4
- Coriander leaves – handful
- Butter – 1 tbsp
- Almonds- 4 to 5 (optional)
- Salt – as needed
- Pepper powder – as needed
Method:
- Peel and slice carrots, chop onions roughly and chop garlic finely. Keep this ready. Heat a pressure cooker with butter. Once it melts add chopped garlic and saute till raw smell goes off. Add chopped onions and saute.
- Add sliced carrots, coriander leaves and almonds if using(I used blanched almonds). Saute for a minute, add salt and pour water upto immersing level. Pressure cook for 2-3 whistles.
- Once the pressure releases,strain the veggies in a strainer to get rid of the excess water. Let it cool completely. Take a mixer and add the cooled ingredients to it.
- Blend it until smooth. In the same pressure cooker add the pureed veggies and the strained water from the last step and bring it just to a boil. Add pepper powder as per your taste and mix.
Yummy and creamy Carrot Soup is ready.
Serve hot as is or with bread sticks.
Tips:
- U can skip butter and add oil if u prefer.
- Adding almonds is purely optional. It did give a rich and creamy texture to the carrot soup.
- Adjust pepper according to your taste buds, as this carrot soup will be mildly sweet.
- U can add a dash of fresh cream before serving.
