Simple Carrot Soup

Simple Carrot Soup

Ingredients:

2 Medium Onions, Chopped
5 Cups Water
3 Medium Gold Beets, Chopped (if unavailable, you can use the usual Red Beetroots, but the colour will be different that's all)
4 -5 Carrots, Chopped
1/4 Cup Sweet White Miso Paste
2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
Salt to Taste

Method:

1. In a large soup pot, throw in your chopped onions, beets, carrots, and water. The water should just cover all of the veggies; if not, add a splash or two more. Cover, bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat to a simmer.

2. Allow everything to cook for about 30 minutes, until the beets and carrots are fork-tender.

3. Transfer everything (carefully!) to your blender, and thoroughly puree, until completely smooth.

4. Add in the miso, lemon juice, and salt as needed, and blend to incorporate. Serve immediately for a hot soup, or chill for at least three hours if you’d prefer it cold.
