The Creamy French Potage de Crécy Recipe is an example of classic french soups. Thick and creamy and delicious, the soup is generally served with rice. That does not mean you cannot enjoy the Carrots Soup with sandwiches, and salads.
The soup is light, healthy and Psst...no one knows you have used cooked carrots in the soup till you tell them. The only cream I have used is what you see on top of the bowl, however, when I tasted the other bowl without cream, I could not make out the difference. So why use cream? It is delicious with or without the cream. Did I mention the Carrot soup is budget-friendly too?

Give me boiled or sautéed carrots on the side and I don't like them but don't mind having them raw or in soups..strange, but that's how it is. Creamy, healthy and filling, now that's what I like about this soup recipe. Am sure my hubby wouldn't mind it with rice but I'd rather have it with some toast.
ArchanaPotdar says
😀 Thanks.
