Carrot Soup Recipe -- How to make Carrot Soup Recipe

Carrot Soup Recipe -- is a very simple and easy soup recipe. I donno how it is made in restaurants, but I like it made in this way. We have sweetness of carrots and onions along with the sharpness of garlic. Some add tomatoes to get tangy taste, but I do not or add very less. 

In these chill evenings have some hot soup to keep your hunger away and keep ourselves warm. Kids also like it very much. Add some cream to get rich flavour.
