My dad can’t stand carrots. As a kid growing up, I could never understand why. I used to sit their looking at my father (who much to my mothers dismay, refused to eat his carrots) thinking carrots are sweet, crunchy and so brightly coloured. What an amazing crazy shape the carrot is too.<\/p>\n

Now as an adult I still always enjoy carrots. Nutritionally, they contain fibre and antioxidants. They also contain beta carotene which once the carrots get digested, gets converted into Vitamin A. Vitamin\u00a0A is crucial for\u00a0our eyeballs. As funny as that sounds, it means exactly that. The cells within our eye need it, and if they don’t get it, our eyesight may falter.<\/p>\n

The purple carrots are\u00a0full of the same things, with the added benefit of\u00a0\u00a0anthocyanins – an antioxidant which gives the lovely purple pigment<\/p>\n

This recipe can be also used as a pasta sauce, and freezes well.<\/p>\n

Recipe<\/h1>\n

You know me by now. I don’t like spending 4 hours making a soup. And I hate washing up. So I always develop soups that require one pot and only a couple of steps.<\/p>\n
