hello everyone i am on Pinkvilla today and with me i have Aditi my childhood friend who is a super
mom and super chef from Chennai and today we are going to make carrot soup together
i am going to be her assistant and she is the head chef today and so lets see how it goes
this is low in calories amazing taste of course and i think its one of the best dishes for winter its
healthy and you can replace it for a meal if you want to keep those calories at bae
before you hit the parties
so lets start by making a stock Aditi so perfect we are gonna start with a couple of vegetables
we gonna saute the vegetables first and then add in the water so i am going to put in
just a tea spoon of olive oil and we gonna put in some carrots a little bit of pepper
onion some celery and a little bit of garlic no salt? we'll put that in the end
okay perfect yeah so we just gonna saute that till you get a nice little bit of caramelization
and that's what gonna give your stock a lot of flavor and we can make this and put it in the fridge? yeah yeah
so what i like to do is i like to actually put it in an ice trey put it in the freezer and when ever
you want you can just pop out the one and
oh that's an amazing idea
so will this give us a liter of stock ah this will give you a little i probably a little
bit less than a liter probably half a liter
so see you can see it turning a little bit brown so that's what we want
just can i add the water now yeah you can put in the water okay so here goes the water
get ready for some sizzling yeah
so perfect so once we put in the water we just gonna close the pressure cooker
okay so how long does this have to steam pressure cook
so wait for around 4 whistles remove it from the heat let the pressure release and then
at the end just add a little bit of salt and your stock is ready
oh perfect so we have some pre made stock that we just made today and this is a broth so
people you know can drink it any time right we can use it as a base for any soup
any sort of vegetable soup you know you can use it in a base for gravies ah if you're sauteing
some vegetables and you just want sauce for it at the end just put little bit of stock and it will be perfect
i think that's amazing so if your vegetables are getting rotten before they got rotten i think
you can just use them for a stock exactly so you you have a little bit of each vegetable
you don't know what to dot with them instead of throwing it away just make some stock
yeah its healthy as well and you're reducing waste right being kind to the planet of course
that as well
now that we have have finished the stock its time to get to this soup its gonna take us 10 mins
the stock will last to a year and this is 10 mins bound over soup and not junk
and this is just the best for your family Aditi and her boys do this pretty often
yeah we cook a lot together and its really great to put ginger in your food because its good for colds
so lets start with the butter we are adding just one table spoon of butter that's a lot of butter
no no little goes a long way you're sure its low cal its a low cal so don't worry
yeah we are adding some onion a little bit of ginger and we just gonna saute that
then we gonna add the carrots i mean it is a carrot i mean it is a carrot ingredient soup after all yeah
oh my god it smells yum we just gonna saute the carrots for a little bit till it just softens a little
you don't wanna brown anything in a soup you just wanna soften it yeah
and now we gonna add a cup of the vegetable stock we just made perfect
thank you so some of water yeah and another cup of just regular water and we just gonna put
in two peels orange just make sure you don't get the white pit inside just the orange outer
now we just cover it with a lit and let it simmer for a good 10 minutes there you go thank you
okay 10 minutes up its boiling yes smells amazing yeah really smells good steam
so we just gonna remove it from the steam okay let it cool for another 5 minutes just so that
its not piping hot and then we are going to blend it with the immersion blender
how about some salt we will add the salt and the orange juice and pepper okay
toh another important thing is please remove the orange strip because otherwise
its gonna get really bitter when you blend it
so here you go Aditi this is for you this is for you to disrupt destruct your food
yeah really looks pretty hard core
oh wow
and yes we are finally set Aditi the soup is ready yes our delicious soup is now ready
6 o clock is when i have hunger pangs so i hope this soup actually helps with that yes for sure
our delicious soup is now ready nice you know when i look at healthy food i feel so good you know
my body feels so good yeah and this is definitely going to take all the boxes its delicious healthy
and you saw how quickly we made it
yeah but you put butter but its still low cal right
it is low cal i promise you that and for people who are vegan what do you do for them
what can they substitute butter with so just put a little bit of olive oil one table spoon
of olive oil is the perfect substitution you are set to go
perfect so no like pumpkin seeds or almond on top don't i mean it looks amazing but it also adds to the calories
you can garnish it with some coriander or some parsley or whatever you have in your kitchen
it will be perfect yeah and definitely no cream so its time to taste
Aditi fingers crossed its amazing truly amazing i get that a bit of orange there its so nice normally
people add cream to this soup but i don't think we need it at all no nuts no garnish and still amazing
yeah you just add a little bit of coriander and parsley at the end for garnish and other than that the
soup is just perfect as it is enjoy it with your children and i am sure you guys are gonna love it
