Carrot Soup is a healthy filling soup with carrot and celery. Soup can be quickly prepared and perfect for winter evening.

Varuna Baghvan (Rain God) is at his best in many places.  As a child I loved rain, but as a mother I feel like humming my son’s favorite rhymes “Rain Rain go away”.  It’s gloomy all day and feel like enjoying something hot all day and eating some crispy baked snack.

 I can’t say no for snacks any day, but a warm soup with pepper pleases says hubby. This soup is almost a year old post. Last winter when it was snowing in Arkansas, hubby asked for a soup.

Those days my son loves soup for lunch, broccoli and spinach soup was his favorite. I saw my fridge, carrots smiled at me and asked why not me. Healthy and colorful main ingredient is checked. Usually I go for potatoes or avocado for thickness but this time celery joined the club.  With mild sweetness from carrots this soup will become kids’ favorite. It is healthy, tasty and quick, is there a reason to stop from trying it 🙂 color of the soup also use to attract him during those days
