This Soup Hits the Spot this Summer!

I just started teaching at Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Chicago and am so happy with my new job, it’s a great way to continue to refine my cooking skills and provide food allergy resources at the school and to my favorite allergenistas. The recipe below is one that I enjoyed as a student and as a chef. The ingredients have been modified to make it allergen free…

Enjoy this satisfying soup made with the season’s freshest carrots. It’s easy to make and the sweetness from the carrots make this vegetable based soup a favorite for kids and adults alike…
