Creamy tomato & carrot soup … one pot quick go-to !

Absolutely love this soup, my lovely mother-in-law made a version of this many years ago with potato and it has stayed as a family favourite. I have simply substituted the potato for carrots, so it is now not tomato and potato soup, but tomato and carrot soup ! Super quick and easy to make. An ideal one for a time poor week night or end of the week as it needs no fancy fresh ingredients, should be all in the pantry and fridge. I use this a bit like the cauli & leek soup, as a quick meal if I’m out of time & good ideas !

Coming to the end of the cold winter, so looking forward to creating some fab spring time meals, if anyone has any suggestions or cravings don’t hesitate to get in touch via here , or FaceBook
