Carrot and parsley soup recipe
information
This soup is best made with a subtle, delicately flavoured homemade stock.
Garnish each serving with cheese and mustard toast: cut half a small French loaf into 8 slices. Toast one side of each slice under the grill, then spread untoasted sides with butter and a little made English mustard. Top each slice with grated Cheddar cheese and toast until cheese is bubbling. Place a slice on top of each bowl of soup and hand remaining bread separately.
For a really creamy soup, stir 2 - 3 tablespoons single cream into the soup just before serving.
