Carrot mixed beans soup is creamy tasty glutenfree recipe. Carrots are the main ingredient in this soup. To increase the nutritional level I have added cooked dry beans like double beans, cowpeas along with antioxidant and beta carotene rich carrots. Well coming to the goodness of this soup, I am very happy that I served my family with this power pack wholesome soothing meal. Just a bowl of this soup is a complete meal by itself.
Legume seeds or pulses or dry beans are highly nutritional. Black eyed bean or cow pea and double beans are a type of lima beans used in many Indian dishes like curry, rice varieties. These are fibre rich and low fat with high protein content. Potassium is abundantly found along with other minerals (wiki). On a caution note, they need to be cooked well otherwise may lead to intestinal discomfort.
I usually prepare such soups during lazy weekends to avoid cooking many dishes. Believe me the soup tasted super delicious. My one twin kid liked it so much but the other one was not so very interested, it’s always like this in my house. I wanted the soup to be creamy and light yellow so blended the base ingredient carrots after cooking and finally added cream. The other way is to leave the carrot slices without cream as it is and add the other ingredients too to the vegetable broth. We love both the versions.
