Recipe - Ange's Spicy Carrot Soup

Makes 4 portions, Approximately 100 calories per portion

Ingredients

• 6 Medium - Large Carrots, peeled & roughly chopped

• 15g Butter (Tablespoon of Vegetable oil if you want a vegan option)

• 1 Medium Red Onion - finely chopped

• 475ml/1 Pint Vegetable Stock

• 1 -2 Garlic Cloves* - finely chopped

• 1/2 Teaspoon Ground Cumin*

• 1/2 Teaspoon Hot Chilli Powder*

*more or less to personal taste

Method

In a large saucepan melt the butter/oil over a medium heat.

Add the onion and soften, stirring regularly (approx 5 mins)

Add the carrots and garlic cloves, and continue to stir for a few minutes.

Add the vegetable stock and spices, bring to the boil and simmer for 25 mins

Take the pan off the heat and carefully transfer the contents to a food processor/blender, blend until it has a smooth consistency and serve. You can also refrigerate or freeze in portions to eat later. I like to serve it with a couple of toasted mini garlic & coriander naans.
