Of course it’s delicious when served warm, but if you leave it in the fridge overnight, the flavors will be even better, making it a soup that’s especially easy to drink in the summer. It is also called 3C soup because it contains carrots, coriander, and cumin. It also contains garlic and ginger, making it a healthy and ethnically flavored soup.

Cold carrot soup
★In France, we have an aperitif before a meal, which is also called l’apéro. Maybe it’s just a matter of grabbing some snacks, having a drink, and talking. Even on such occasions, this soup is sometimes served in a glass container as shown in the photo. It’s also delicious when eaten with sticks like grissini or crispy bacon.
★It’s perfect as a side dish for everyday meals, or as a light lunch with bread or salad.
★The amount of ginger is slightly reduced, so please adjust it if you like a slightly more spicy taste.
