Made this tonight for myself and my 9 year old daughter. We loved it! It was a beautiful bright orange color and full of flavor. I am always looking for low cal meals. Thanks for posting this yummy soup. -
I really enjoyed the flavor of this soup. It was very easy to prepare I used vegetable stock. I love onions & garlic with carrots I did not have any chives. Thanks for posting Anu -
I'm sorry, Anu. This one just didn't do it. I didn't like the taste of it at all.
