We love munching on a few baby carrots for a healthy snack. But we don’t love the bag of leftovers sitting in our fridge afterward.
Luckily, the great Martha Stewart comes to the rescue with a healthy recipe that ensures a perfectly good bag of carrots won’t go to waste. This soup gets sweetness from the carrots, but has a nice kick to it thanks to the curry. Here’s another plus: Carrots are in season year-round, and the soup can be served hot or chilled, making it great for any weather.
