This tipsy carrot soup is the perfect solution to that eternal dilemma: How to have fun and stay healthy too. Just add some beer into your soup 🙂

Ingredients

• 200gm carrot
• 30gm celery
• 20gm garlic
• 30gm leeks
• 30gm salt
• 1/8 tsp white pepper
• 1 tbsp fresh cream
• 2 tbsp beer
• Veg stock

Method

• In a large stockpot, melt butter and saute onion and garlic until soft and tender. It should take you around five minutes.
• Add carrots, veg stock and beer.
• Cover and cook on medium heat for 30 minutes or until veggies become tender.
• Remove from heat and let it cool for 15 minutes.
• Using a stick blender, puree the soup right in the pot (or pour some into a blender and puree- you will have to do this in batches).
• Return to heat and add milk, salt, and pepper.
• Cook over low flame until heated through, maybe for five minutes.
• Remove from the stove. Garnish with almond and fresh cream.
• Serve hot.
