SPICED CARROT SOUP
Steps:
- Heat oil over medium low heat in heavy Dutch oven. Add onion and garlic, stir, add salt, pepper, sugar, cumin and coriander, and cook slowly 1015 minutes until onions are translucent. Add carrots, rice, bay leaf and stock or water and cook 30 minutes, or until rice is puffed up and carrots can be crushed against side of pot with wooden spoon. Pass through food mill into clean pot. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Bring back to a simmer, then serve garnished with crispy shallots.
- Heat oil to 360 degrees. Separate the shallot slices into rings and place in medium bowl. Sprinkle flour over and toss lightly to coat evenly. Working with a small handful at a time, sprinkle shallots over oil and stir gently. Fry until golden brown, 13 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Repeat with remaining shallots, salting while still warm. Use as garnish for Spiced Carrot Soup.

CREAMY SPINACH AND CARROT SOUP
My mother-in-law made this all the time and even my 7 year old would eat it. Pretty impressive for spinach! I've changed up a few things though by adding more salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste. I also like to use 2 bags of pre-washed fresh spinach instead of frozen. And, I tried it in the crock pot last week and it was sooo simple!
