Creamy Carrot Soup

So who’s ready for spring??? This girl right here is! Although we have had a pretty mild winter here in Dallas and I should not complain, but I miss the flowers and most of all my vegetable garden. Which I just reminded myself that I need to do some research on gardening in this new to me climate. I think I can start planting in March! Yippee!

You certainly don’t need a garden to make this soup. Just a bag of carrots and 4 or 5 other ingredients. It’s soooo easy to make and full of veggies!

For the seasoning I used Simply Organic’s Sweet Cinnamon Chili seasoning packet. If you don’t have that you can easily mix in a small bowl 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for spice), 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, dash of cumin, salt and pepper.
