SOPA DE CENOURA - CARROT SOUP - PORTUGAL



Sopa De Cenoura - Carrot Soup - Portugal image

This recipe is submitted for play in ZWT8 - Spain/Portugal. It is a recipe by Ana Patuleia Ortins This is a truly wonderful dish that is easy to make and loaded with vitamin A. It is unique because a straight forward puréed soup that does not require other ingredients to give it additional texture is unusual in Portuguese cooking. When entertaining, I dress this soup up with a drizzle of heavy cream.

Tips

  • Use high-quality carrots. The fresher and sweeter the carrots, the better your soup will taste. Look for carrots that are firm, smooth, and brightly colored.
  • Don't overcook the carrots. Overcooked carrots will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them just until they are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Add some sweetness. If your carrots are not very sweet, you can add a little bit of sugar or honey to the soup. You can also add a sweet fruit, such as an apple or a pear.
  • Add some spice. A little bit of spice can help to balance out the sweetness of the carrots. Try adding a pinch of cumin, coriander, or ginger to the soup.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs. Fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, or chives, can add a bright, fresh flavor to the soup. Add them just before serving.

Conclusion

Carrot soup is a delicious and nutritious soup that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover carrots. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and satisfying carrot soup that the whole family will enjoy.
