Tomato-carrot soup
Description
The soup is simple and quick to prepare. I'd like to share with you a light vegetable soup that you can mash into a puree before serving (or not, whichever you prefer). You can use either water or broth (vegetable or meat, for example) as a base, if available. Spices are a matter of taste. I recommend adding at least salt and cumin, and then adjust according to your personal preference. You can make the soup spicier or more aromatic. Serve with fresh herbs and sour cream.
