Healthy Carrot Soup

This is my signature dish. I thought of trying something good and healthy out of carrot, as I bought some fresh carrot and it was so tempting, dragging me into the kitchen to do something.Its been a long that we had soup, usually I used to prepare mushroom or vegetable clear soup once in a week. But those days are long gone.So the carrots were wanting me to get cooked into soup. I tried it in my own style. It came out well and yummy.
