Carrot & Cumin Soup

As I look through my window every morning, I notice how fast the leaves are changing colours and the days getting just that little bit colder each day. So let’s all stay warm and make this creamy and colourful Carrot & Cumin Soup together (keeping social distances, of course!).

With only a handful of ingredients, this delicious soup comes together in just about 30 minutes. Cozy up with a big bowl of this Carrot & Cumin Soup and maybe a Pitta Bread (or two?) to soak up all the goodness.

Make a big batch to keep you warm all week long. You can even keep individual portions in your freezer to heat up later!
