This makes a great first course soup.
Use medium size, sweet carrots.
Did you know that when using fresh parsley as a garnish that after you chop it,
you can wrap it in cheesecloth and run it under cold water. The water will turn
green, keep rinsing until the water is clear. Squeeze out excess moisture.
Parsley will keep several days this way. |
