Carrot Corn Soup is a perfect winter soup. The beautiful light in the evening and a huge bowl of the Carrot Corn Soup is what made it perfect. Now that there is a slight chill in the air, most days we have soup for supper. Carrot Corn Soup is a variation of the Corn soup. Carrot and Corn gives a very beautiful colour to the soup. It is creamy, light and filling when had with a slice of bread. I was so excited by the colour that I put in lot of effort in garnishing as well.
