The weather went back from summer to autumn in Jersey for a few days so I thought what better food to warm myself than a spiced soup. This curried carrot soup mixed up with ginger and Thai flavours is a great way of getting some veg in the system but also makes a perfect warm lunch.
Many thanks to Sweese (@sweesedotcom) for sending through such wonderful bowls (available through Amazon and the link below). Not only are these great quality, they are also microwave, oven and dishwasher safe.
