Blended Carrot Soup

Cook time:     45 minutes

Makes:           4-6 servings

A simple meal with lots of flavour. You can get most of the ingredients on sale, and add any extra vegetables to make it more exciting. I blended the soup to make it nice and creamy, but you could mash it or leave it as is.
