SOUPS

CARROT SOUP, American

Ingredients

• 4 to 6 large carrots, sliced (about 2 ½ cups)
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 ¾ cups water
• 1 can (13 oz.) undiluted evaporated milk
• ¼ teaspoon each coarse ground pepper and nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon minced parsley

Preparation Instructions

Cook carrots in salted water until tender. Put carrots, including water in which they were cooked, in an electric blender and whirl until smooth. (You may have to do half at a time if your blender won't hold this amount.) Return to saucepan and stir in evaporated milk, pepper, nutmeg, and parsley. Return to heat, bring to a boil, and serve (or refrigerate to reheat and serve later). Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Heat pumpkin immediately before serving soup by pouring in boiling water and leaving it for 1 minute.
