We can’t get enough of this creamy, sweet and comforting bisque. It reminds us of the kind of soup du jour that is served with an overpriced salad at a fancy restaurant but minus the heavy cream and heavy price.
This is wholesome, healthy and can be batch cooked meaning you can have a lot on hand to thaw for those days that you need a quick lunch or just not in the mood to cook dinner.
The beautiful orange pigment found in carrots is beta carotene which is an antioxidant that is converted into Vitamin A, an essential vitamin. This can aid in glowing skin, a strong immune system, and good eye health. So your mother wasn’t lying when she told you that carrots will make you see better when you were forced to eat them as a child!
The recipe makes 16 servings but it can be easily halved.
