Steps In Making
- Heat olive oil in a large pan.

- Now add sliced onions and cook for a minute.
- Add chopped carrots and salt. Mix well and cook on medium heat for 4-5 minutes and stir it occasionally.
- Further add water. Cover it with a lid and let it simmer on medium heat for 15-20 minutes or until the carrots turn soft.
- Once done, let it cool down and then transfer them in a mixer grinder and grind until it gets a smooth texture. Please remove the cinnamon stick and bay leaf before grinding.
- Now pour the liquid in a large pan and let it simmer on medium heat for 3-4 minutes or until it gets few boils. Add some hot water if the soup is very thick.
- Finally add some butter and white pepper powder.
- Garnish with some fresh cream, pumpkin seeds and sesame seeds. Serve hot.
Recipe Notes
