Hi Diane, thanks for the comment and rating! Whenever I have leftover carrots in the drawer, this is my go-to recipe to use them up. I created this recipe to use radishes because we have onion food allergies in the house. Otherwise, onions are perfect! So glad you loved the soup?!
I love this recipe. I substitute onion for radishes just because I don’t typically buy radishes but even so this recipe is so good. A go to for me, I think of it every time I buy carrots. I eat it straight, my husband actually likes to have it with rice and chicken.
