Hey friends, I hope you’re doing swell! Well I don’t know where you live but it’s freezing here in California. I know, I know. I shouldn’t be complaining because we get the sun and we're right next to the beach so it can’t be that cold but IT IS. AND I AM FREEZING MY BUTT OFF. AND IT’S SO WINDY. So if any of you have any tips to keep warm, or any recipes that help you keep warm please send them my way!

So I think it’s the perfect time to create a soup for you to enjoy! I hope you like carrot soup because that’s the recipe I’m offering you.
