Carrot & Dill Soup
Explore the Character of Carrot
A carrot soup variation with added potatoes to give it a creamier feel. You can add more
carrots and fewer potatoes if you want less starch and instead drizzle with olive oil for
added creaminess. There is a chance that once you’ve tried this carrot & dill variation you might not go back to normal carrot soup ever again.

This was just perfect timing: that day when this was sent in the newsletter I had just picked some potatoes and baby carrots from my garden, and I was wondering what to cook. So this nailed it. I modified with some ginger. Yummy!
Amazing. Ginger is a great add on, especially as fall arrives. Warming and helping with digestion. Enjoy!
