Creamy Carrot and Lemongrass Soup plus Tasty Tuesdays Linky Party

Do you need a healthy and tasty soup that cooks up in under 30 minutes and will leave you filling satisfied? How about vegan, vegetarian, low fat and/or gluten free? Then you are going to love this Creamy Carrot and Lemongrass Soup.

This soup is based on Carrot and Ginger Soup from Bitchin’ Kitchen Cookin’ for Trouble by Nadia G. I loved that show! Great food, great shoes and sarcasm, what’s not to love? And the cookbook has some of my favorite recipes from the show.

I didn’t have any ginger, but I did have lemongrass which gave it a nice slightly salty lemon taste. I also cut the recipe down to two servings because I knew I would be enjoying it alone. Yeah! More for me.  Like most soup recipes, the amounts given below are approximate. Adjust it to your own tastes. I would recommend at least 2:1 carrot to potato ratio for maximum carrot flavor. I actually had it 50/50 and the carrot was overpowered by the potato. Don’t get me wrong I like potato soup, but I was going for carrot here.

I had a bowl for lunch and it filled me up quite nicely. Which is very important when you are trying to recover from the Holiday eating binge.
