One month anniversary for my blog! I'm so enjoying this-hope you are too!
I found when we moved to Maui that living here didn’t naturally generate those urges to make and eat hearty cool weather fare like soups, chili, stews and the like. However, I think my blood must have thinned out in the 3 years we’ve been here full time, because I have no problem with those kinds of foods today!
Case in point-this hearty carrot soup. I had carrots in last week’s produce box and even using some each day in my lunch salad, I still had quite a few left. And, today is produce day again so last week’s carrots were begging to be used!
I thought about making dilled carrots for a dinner side dish but that didn’t really feel right with the rest of the meal. So, what could I make with the carrots that I could use later? Carrot cake? Love it but, A. having a whole cake around is not on my healthy eating plan right now! And B. I didn’t have what I needed to even make it remotely lower in calories than the “normal recipe”.
So….Soup! As usual for inspiration, I looked in the pantry and here is what I came up with. It is really thick and rich, exotic tasting, even. If you like a thinner soup, use more chicken broth.
I was also happy to use up a couple of the limes off our new lime tree!
