Carrot and Lemon Soup
Carrot and Lemon Soup is early summer in a bowl. It is gluten-free and vegan and light, full of flavour and makes seasonal produce sing. I have to confess I am not a fan of cooked carrots – they are often way too sweet for me and unfortunately remind me of school dinners I refused […]
