Whats Next -

In a heavy bottom pan take 4 cups water and bring it to boil. Peel the carrots and potato. Chop carrots and potato to small pieces. Add it to the water. chop & peel a small piece of ginger, peel the garlic and put it in the boiling water. Veggies should be soft and cooked after 15 minutes. Chop the apple and add to it. Let it simmer for 5 minutes.

Save the water once you drain all the veggies as we want to use it as a vegetable broth for the soup.

Blend everything in the blender to a very smooth paste. Add the paste back to the pan. Add veg broth. Mix well. Add milk. Bring it to a boil.

Add salt, sugar, honey, pepper and oregano leaves.

Take a bowlful and add some bread croutons. This stuff is filling and delicious!!
