And so we say farewell to the annual birthday silly season.  A month of food.  A month of wine.  A month long celebration.  So how will I mark the end of the festivities? How will I start to repair my body? Could be nothing but Carrot Soup. This soup is laughably easy, really tasty and feels like it’s good for you.

You will need:
– 750g carrot, grated
– 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
– 1 onion, finely chopped (I left this out and didn’t miss it)
– 1 potato
– 6 cups chicken stock
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley

Do this:
Simmer vegetables in stock for 20-30 minutes.
Add cumin, parsley, serve piping hot.

No more steps. It’s that easy.
You could blend the soup for a smoother texture, but I like mine a little chunky.
