Carrot Soup

This Carrot Soup is bright, comforting, and surprisingly elegant for how simple it is. Sweet carrots are gently cooked until tender, then lifted with warm spices and the fresh, zesty notes of orange. The result is a smooth, vibrant soup that feels light yet satisfying – perfect for chilly evenings, easy lunches, or when you want something nourishing without being heavy.

The combination of earthy vegetables, gentle sweetness, and a touch of creaminess makes this soup both soothing and refreshing. It’s the kind of recipe that looks beautiful in a bowl, tastes like a hug, and still feels fresh and energising thanks to the citrus finish.
