Ask a question about this stepOops, I totally forgot the vegetable broth! Sorry to anyone who made it and was wondering why it was so thick!
Awesome! I usually end up making this soup when I've bought a whole bag of carrots. They used to end up going bad because even if I put them in every salad, I couldn't get through a whole bag myself. But now I just make this soup. It freezes well, so sometimes I make a bunch of it and freeze it in individual containers, and then I have a bowl of soup ready to go anytime.
I am on a real carrot thing lately! So...this sounds fantastic. I just bought a gadget that jullienes vegetables and my life has changed. So many vegetables that are ready for my gadget!!!!!
