Laurie's Tip
What a wonderful aroma to come home to! This soup is full of flavour and nutrition, and has a tangy twist compared to a traditional carrot soup. If you haven't heard of Oishi sauce - it is a great substitute for soy sauce, having 1000mg less sodium per tablespoon! It is worth a try for sure. Hope you enjoy!
