another easy one....carrot soup
I just wing it with this,
Big bag of carrots
large onion
clove of garlic or some paste if preferred
beef stock
creme fraiche
chop carrots and seat off in a pan with a small bit of butter and of course the onion
add stock to cover the carrots and cook until tender(about 20 mins)
blitz with a hand held blender and add more stock to desired consistency(I like it thick) and then add a big blob of creme fraiche-job done!
If preferred you can use Vegetable stock but I like the beef stock in mine x
