Paola’s (Cousin’s) Carrot/Apple Soup

I made Paola’s (cousin’s) carrot/apple soup this afternoon and must say that I very much liked the flavor. Per Paola’s suggestion, I did not add the sugar and found the soup to be plenty sweet without it. I also modified the recipe by using low sodium veg stock and left out the bay leaf (simply because I didn’t have one). And finally, I didn’t follow the garnishing instructions… I just left mine plain. I think next time I will only puree 1/2 the soup and leave the other half of the veggies in their whole state, just to add some texture to it. That said, as prepared, I found the soup to be very tasty. Oh, one more thing… this recipe is supposed to make 4 portions, but there’s no way the portion I ate (which was more than enough) equaled 1/4th of the amount made. I imagine that I’m going to get at least 6 servings out of this recipe, but I went ahead and counted it as the full caloric amount of 150. Anyway, thanks, Paola! This soup was very yummy… I’m glad I made it! :)

    Oh, I’m glad you made and like the soup. Ginni will be pleased.

    Yes, the soup is definitely more than 4 portions. And, yes, agreed with leaving some unliquidised to provide texture.

    For garnishing (stirring in), try baked chopped aubergine (eggplant). There’s a photo on my general veg soup recipe.
