1 lb meat, such as beef brisket (cut into bite-sized cubes)
1 medium onion, chopped
2 lb bag frozen carrots
1-2 tbsp vegeta
5 cups raw potatoes, (cut into bite-sized cubes)
salt, pepper, maggi
1. In large pot, put meat (or soup bones), onion, and frozen carrots. Add potatoes and sufficient water to cover. Add Vegeta.
2. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to simmer. Cover and cook for about 30 - 60 minutes, until meat is cooked. Cooking longer will improve the flavor.
3. Season with salt, pepper, and Maggi. The Vegeta Food Seasoning used has salt and dried vegetables in it. If you don't have this, just add about 1 tsp. salt and some pepper to start. Adjust seasonings to taste.
4. Instead of using raw meat, add some sausage, kielbasa, or wieners. You will only need to cook the soup until the carrots are tender, about 10 - 15 minutes.
5. If you like soup rothy, just leave the way it is. However, if you like it thicker and (creamier), the easy way is to slowly add just enough Instant Mashed Potato flakes, stirring constantly, until the soup is as thick as you like. Adding a grated raw potato in the beginning is another way to thicken the soup. Slowly adding 1 - 2 tbsp cornstarch dissolved in a little cold water until the soup has thickened is another to make this Carrot Soup Recipe creamier.
6. You can turn the Carrot Soup into different vegetable soup recipes by using different vegetables - half carrot, half potato, or half carrot, half green bean, etc.
