CARROT CUMIN SOUP
This carrot and cumin soup recipe, based on a traditional Middle Eastern soup, has become a favorite with everyone who tastes it. It's also unbelievably healthy (almost no fat) and easy (few ingredients). The finished soup has a wonderful creamy texture, especially considering there is no cream or cheese in it.
