Expert Tips
You can also 1/4 cup fresh cream or milk at the last stage to make it more creamy and rich. You can also pressure cook the carrots and grind it with sauted garlic. The carrot soup is slightly sweet with milk and the sweetness in the carrot, so add pepper powder accordingly. Choose tender fresh carrots for the soup. The color of the soup totally depends on the carrots. Skip lemon juice if adding milk as it may curdle.
