Editors Review

Carrot soup, anyone ? Watch this video to make a lovely hot and spicy carrot soup which acts as a wonderful appetizer. Cumin and red chili powder help spice it up and garnished with cilantro and sour cream, it makes a perfect healthy soup which can also be had with bread. This can also be served on a hot summer day, but chilled to bring out a different taste.
