Looking for a comforting soup that is super easy to make, even on a weeknight? Here is our creamy carrot velouté!

In French cuisine, the main difference between ‘velouté’ and ‘soup’ is that cream is blended with the velouté to create a thick and creamy texture. And as we couldn’t just stop there, we added a soft-boiled egg to bring some #eggporn to the game 😅

This is a 30-min vegetarian recipe that you can adjust with the veggies you have on hand, be sure to give it a try!
