Carrot Top Soup
I hate wasting food so I came up with a recipe for carrot top soup!
I frequently buy my carrots at the local farmers market and they come with the lovely green carrot tops still attached. For months I would remove the greens and toss them away. I decided there must be something I could do with these nutritious greens and carrot top soup has become one of my favorite recipes :) It’s quick, it’s easy, and most importantly, it’s delicious! And if you’re looking for a creamier version, try this more traditional vegan carrot soup recipe.
