(Soup with Carrot and Tomato)
Jump to recipe ↓
Carrot Tomato Soup is one of the first soups that I tried after I started cooking. I always loved soups and never missed to order one when I go to restaurants. I tasted this carrot soup at my friends house and loved it. I feel this soup used to be one of the common soups made in many homes before many other soups took over.
Carrot Tomato Soup is a quick to make, healthy and filling soup that is perfect for rainy or winter days. It is another way of making kids eat vegetables. This soup can be had an evening snack, for dinner or as an appetizer.
