Carrot and Coriander Soup and Memories

I made a carrot, coriander, red lentil and pea soup the other day it brings back fond memories as the last time I made this was on Jasmines First Birthday last August. It was a wonderful day, full of laughter friends and family. Isn't it wonderful the great memories we associate with food.

This soup is easy to make and very healthy high in protein, vitamin and minerals and fiber

Jasmine still loves it :)
