If life were only full of soups and salads, what would be your go-to soup to have everyday? The current flavor I am hooked on to is carrot soup, something I could savour everyday. Absolutely flavourful, healthy and can be tweaked with many flavourful variants like basil, ginger, garlic, nuts of choice etc.

With colourful and flavourful food palette, here is @breakandbinge wishing you all a very #happyholi!

Ingredients:

• 3 carrots, chopped into medium sized cubes
• 1 clove garlic
• ¾ inch ginger
• ½ onion sliced
• Water, per consistency
• 1 cup vegetable broth (made from 1 cube stock and 1 cup water, or freshly made)
• 1 tsp oregano / Italian mixed herbs
• 1/2 tsp black pepper powder
• ¼ tsp red chili flakes
• ¼ tsp salt
  • Roasted pumpkin seeds for garnishing
• 1-1.5 tbsp oil

Procedure:

1. In a pan, take the oil and when it is hot, add garlic and sauté until golden brown
2. Add onion to it and sauté well, followed by ginger
3. Cook for another 2-3 minutes or until aromatic and then add carrot and let it cook for 2-3 minutes
4. Add the cooked vegetables in a pressure cooker with 2 cup water and salt
5. Take 4 whistles and then let it cool
6. Drain out the water (keep it aside) and blend the veggies well to a very smooth puree
7. Take the puree in a big pan with the water that was kept aside and broth and let it boil after adding all the herbs/spices in it
8. Add water if needed
9. Serve the soup hot with pumpkin seeds as the garnish
