Carrots and curry are an awesome combination! A client asked me to produce a hearty soup for her, as she is trying to cut the calories but still wants something absolutely flavorful. You probably already have all of the ingredients necessary to create this bisque and even if you don't, it's a very cost effective dish to create! And if you're trying to keep your sodium intake low, this bisque contains no salt! The Carrot & Curry Bisque is good as a side dish but can certainly be used as a main course, it is very filling, flavorful and healthy. Cheers!
