Carrot soup with dill pesto is a delicious and nutritious dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The creamy soup is made with fresh carrots, onion, and celery, and is seasoned with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. The dill pesto adds a bright and herbaceous flavor to the soup, and is made with fresh dill, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, and pine nuts. This soup is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. For a thicker soup, simply add more carrots or blend the soup until smooth. For a more flavorful soup, add some chopped fresh herbs or a pinch of red pepper flakes. This versatile soup can be served hot or cold, and is a great way to use up leftover carrots.
