Cream of Carrot Soup with Roasted Jalapenos

Advertisement

I’m a bit of a procrastinator. But, it’s almost time, it’s almost Passover…!

The aisles are already full of matzah. Kosher for Passover noodles are all the rage, but still, I find myself walking right by them in search of something different.

I come home home and look around, think about planning my seder menu. And think about what i can do differently this year.

And then it happens…almost instantaneously. A soup for the perfect brunch, the perfect dinner or just a perfect starter to your Seder. And even if you’re not kosher for Passover, well, it’s still the perfect soup to warm you up, make you feel good, and fill up your belly.
