Ever have those days where you look in the refrigerator and try to figure out what to make for dinner which is also healthy. This roasted carrot and microgreens soup is the way out.
Soup is a wonderful way to use up ingredients that are not at their freshest, but not ready to be composted either.
This recipe is in collaboration with Kokil from Pods and Shoots. She has an awesome range of microgreens that you can choose along with some other fresh produce too. She delivers across Bangalore as of now.
