For a richer flavor, try roasting the carrots with a drizzle of olive oil before steaming. This will caramelize the natural sugars and add depth to the soup. A pinch of nutmeg or a swirl of crème fraîche can elevate this soup even further. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your spice preference. Garnish with a sprig of fresh parsley or basil for a pop of color.

Nov 22, 2023I think I blended the soup too long and added too much broth at the end, but the taste was still pretty good. I will try to make it again.
