Carrot Soup & Arugula Salad!
This is the first post of many to come tonight. Seth and I have been cooking a lot more than we used to it seems, and we try to try out a new recipe every week! Yay! Now I just need some updated kitchen utensils… Onto the Carrot Soup: Seth and I were grocery shopping at Whole Foods one evening when I just told him “I want carrot soup!” not even knowing if I liked carrot soup, considering the only kind I think I have ever had is at Root Down, which is their red curry carrot soup with apple chutney. Hmm… need this to be simple! So simple carrot soup it is, courtesy of Cooking Light, typical :) The recipe can be found here: http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=1880029 We ended up making a really awesome salad with it as well. A Whip-Together Arugula Salad (2 Servings): 1/2 box/bag of Arugula So yummy! The strawberry vinaigrette recipe can be found here and is great to use leftover strawberries (we divided this recipe by like 8 to make it for 2 servings): http://www.vinaigretterecipe.com/recipes/StrawberryVinaigrette.htm Pretty and delicious!
2 tablespoons crumbled goat cheese
2 tablespoons slivered almonds
1 small-sized bunch of champagne (reddish, tan colored) grapes
a drizzle of homemade strawberry vinaigrette
