Carrot soup

Winter month!! A hot cup of healthy soup every night sounds soo good! I make soups almost every weeknight! With my Zumba workouts and Surya namaskars, I feel guilty eating the heavy carb Indian meal with rotis or rice so soups and protein like boiled eggs, fish or chicken is my dinner. Tomato, carrot, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage are my all time favorites! My husband and kids also loves a bowl of this healthy soup with the regular meal of rotis, veggie and chicken, fish or eggs!
