The weather is warming up but I’m still in a very soupy mode. There is just something comforting about soup. Maybe it’s because I grow up drinking different kinds of soups, or perhaps inherently, I am reaching out for something that helps me feel comforted.
Everyone go through difficult or challenging times. For me, a good workout, a laugh with my girlfriends, snuggling up to my hubby, reading magazines or books, baking, cooking or having a warm bowl of soup and more importantly quiet time with my heavenly father are all activities I do to make me feel better.
This soup is rich and comforting for sure. Blended carrots make such a creamy sweet soup. I totally can’t get enough of eating this. I made this version with miso but I’m thinking it will do very well with a dash of sour cream.
Now, a word of warning though, be careful after blending this soup and re heating it. It can make a messy kitchen! Nothing like cleaning to make it therapeutic right?
