This soup is very yummy with the topping or without. For my son, it's better without. For me I used fat free sour cream on top and cumin seeds. Thanks DeeVaFoodie :) Made for your win in Bargain Basement tag game

I loved this though DD was not a fan but she is not big on carrots at the best of times !! I did stir a tiny bit of diced bacon through this and put some toasted cumin seeds on top. I am looking forward to another serve tomorrow ! Made for ZWT 6.
