Well winter for 2014 is almost over but with the weather we had here in Sydney at the weekend it certainly felt like winter was going to stick around for a fair bit longer! So whilst I’m aware the northern areas of Australia are not thinking that it is still soup weather, the southern areas of Australia certainly still do!
We had so many carrots after our fruit and veg co-op delivery, which forced me into hunting for new recipes with carrot! I even made a carrot and cumin dip which I was a little sceptical about, but it turned out great and I will share it with you soon! We really enjoyed this soup with the hint of ginger and cumin too.

Thank you for inspiring me today Leonie! I used your recipe as a guide for the base recipe and added cumin, coriander, Turmeric, salt and pepper for personal taste! As I love minimizing food wasted, I topped it was marinated cooked prawns and hickory smoked bacon bits! YUMMY!
Love what Thermomix can do!
