Carrot Onion Soup

Method:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:

   • Peel and chop the carrots and onions. Keep the garlic clove whole.

2. Cook the Vegetables:

   • In a pot, add the carrots, onions, garlic, and vegetable broth or water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.

   • Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the carrots are soft.

3. Blend the Soup:

   • Remove the pot from heat. Let it cool slightly, then transfer the mixture to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.

   • Alternatively, use an immersion blender directly in the pot.

4. Season the Soup:

   • Return the blended soup to the pot. Stir in cumin powder, black pepper, and salt. Reheat if necessary.

5. Add Lemon and Garnish:

   • Stir in the lemon juice just before serving for a fresh, tangy kick. Garnish with chopped parsley or coriander leaves.

6. Serve:

   • Enjoy the soup hot, either on its own or with a slice of whole-grain bread.
