Serves 4

Cooking time:40 to 45 minutes

Ingredients:

• 500 g of carrots peeled and sliced
• 1 onion finely chopped
• 6 portions of The Laughing Cow Original or Light if you are watching the calories
• 30 g of butter
• 1 tsp. of curry powder

Method:

Fry the onion gently in a pan with the olive oil until soft

Add the curry powder and cook for a further 2 minutes

Add the carrots and cook for a further 5 minutes stirring occasionally

Add salt, pepper and butter

Add enough water to cover the carrots

Simmer on low heat until carrots are soft (30 to 35 minutes)

Blend using a soup blender or stick blender

Add the Laughing Cow cheese portions and blend a second time until creamy.

Serve in a bowl topped with fresh coriander leaves

My tips:

For a creamier texture, add a spoon of crème fraiche or double cream

I remember trying the same recipe at a cookery workshop in Provence. We used courgettes instead of the carrots and served the soup cold. It was a delicious starter on a hot summer’s evening.
