Creamy Carrot Soup

Creamy Carrot Soup is not your normal soup. This one has a smooth kick to it using peanut butter and chilli sauce for extra body, flavour and warmth. On a cold day when you need warming up this is my go to soup. As a final touch, I sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds as they contrast yet enhance the dish at the same time.

I normally just serve this as a soup, however it also fits as a main dish, starter and snack.

Creamy Carrot Soup

This soup is full of flavour in ways that others fail. the addition of peanut butter and chilli sauce is genius.
