Carrot Soup | Carrot Milk Soup Recipe
Who doesn't love soups on a cold winter evening? Warm soups really seem to warm our soul too. Every sip makes us feel more better and warm. Most people tend to love the creamier soups than the watery ones and I am one of that kind. This carrot soup is rich, warm and creamy so falls into this category, it is so simple to make and does not need cream nor much butter, just some milk and carrots will do the magic. It has a mild sweetness and a lovely color that even kids will love. We all know the health benefits that carrots can give us it is packed with Vitamins, antioxidants and is so nutritious, but the best thing I love about carrots is the way they nourish the skin. Carrots prevent acne as they act as a natural cleanser and also can prevent aging as they have beta carotene; this beta-carotene is an antioxidant that helps delay in aging of cells. Moreover it can be used to treat uneven skin tones due to pigmentation. Isn't it amazing, now am sure everyone would start including carrots in your diet if so add this soup also in the menu. Not only because this soup is healthy but also it tastes yum, just a spicy appetizer is enough to accompany this soul warming soup.
