creamy carrot soup


creamy carrot soup...
for 2

3 cups of chopped carrots
3 cups of water
1 onion - roughly chopped
4 cloves of garlic - chopped
scallions, fresh chili peppers (optional - i like it spicy!) and sesame oil to finish

saute garlic and onion in olive oil until fragrant
add water and carrots... cover and bring to a boil
simmer about 20 minutes until carrots are soft but still bright orange
puree carrot soup until smooth (much easier using a hand blender!) and salt to taste
garnish with scallion, a drizzle of sesame oil, and minced chili (if you want some spice)
