I recommend butter for best flavour though, considering how much soup this quantity makes, the amount of butter per serve is not much at all You can refrigerate leftover soup for up to 3 days and reheat before serving Squeeze some lemon if you'd like the carrot soup to be a bit tangy For carrot potato soup recipe in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Urdu, Marathi, French, Spanish, etc please use the Google translate button in the sidebar.
