Carrot and Turmeric Soup

Turmeric is an amazing spice. It grows so easily in pots or in the ground in warm climates.carrot-soup

4 teaspoons fresh grated turmeric or 3 teaspoons dried turmeric

Choose a large saucepan. Empty the carrots, tomatoes and turmeric into the saucepan.
Make up a vegetable stock and pour into the saucepan to cover the vegies.
Bring to a boil then turn down the heat to medium and continue to simmer until the vegetables are soft.
Allow to cool a little then blend the whole lot until silky smooth.

Reheat and serve.

Its that easy!
