I'm sorry but this was just awful! I'm an experienced cook and I followed this recipe to the letter, but what you end up with is a raw, bitty soup which sticks in your throat and burns your mouth with the raw ginger! Mine went back into the pan for a good 20 minute simmer but it still wasn't very nice. I'll stick to my Delia Smith recipe in future!! Avoid.

I chopped the carrots into small pieces and cooked around 5 mins in the stock, until softened, before adding the spices and torn-apart wholemeal bread (including crusts) and blitzing. I added ~ 30 mls boiling water to make up the volume before stirring in sour cream and seasoning to taste. Was quite tasty.

I love carrot soup but this really wasn't good. You are basically blending raw carrot with stock, soured cream, ginger and turmeric. It should taste great but it tastes a bit watery and insipid. I'll go back to making soup with cooked carrots

Really tasty, but couldn't get this smooth at all - I don't think my blender was powerful enough. Would consider grating the carrots next time or cooking in water before blitzing.

Boil the veg first - it doesn't taste like much until you put the sour cream or low fat creme fraiche in it then it's delish!! And so quick to make!!
