Curried Carrot Soup for Lunch

      Today I had to be in the house so I made a big pot of curried carrot soup! Remember I told you I had a big surprise when I went north and had to cook for myself. I like cooking and now with the Internet you just find a recipe that looks good and away you go.

My wonderful soup

     Ordinarily , I'm outside most of the day. The weather man kept me in the house today.

We received this snow Sun. Oct. 27

Some landscape trees do not harden off like this willow so it still has colorful leaves.

This particular willow sprawls over a large area.

I hope this year that the willow loses most of its leaves before I put my ski trail out in the park

The deer visited this park last night.

   so now you see why I stayed in and made soup!

    1. I much prefer home made soups. I can control the salt in home made stuff.

    1. I know people don't like the cold but it doesn't bother me.

  3. That's more than a dusting of snow. I'd be inside too.
    The yellow leaves of the tree are set off well with the white snow. Makes for a very pretty fall/ winter scene.
    There are so many recipes on the internet that it's probably possible to eat something different every day for weeks and weeks.

    1. I think we got about 5 cm ( 2 in). It rained before it snowed. This will melt this week.

  5. That look weird the trees with their leaves in the snow! The weather is changing early this year. Your soup looks very good, a composition in orange at your table.

    1. Trees that are not native sometimes hold their leaves as they need more time to harden off. I need more help in my orange study as I got a red table cloth in there.

  6. I love seeing the snow all we get is rain at this time of the year.
    Try the same recipe with Sweet Potatoes and coconut milk it is my favourite soup. Second favourite Cullen Skink is my first choice.

  7. WoW, I am impressed with the amount of snow you have, and we are still juist getting heavy frost most mornings and a slight covering of thin ice on the ponds and lakes - I took my bike for a two hour ride yesterday with long underwear, snow pants, heavy jacket, scarf and heated gloves and that was my last ride this year. Tomorrow, oil is changed and general maintenance done for winter storage and put in garage and covered.....unless we have 3 weeks of really hot weather like last year in December and I shall be out riding again - maybe. Your soup looks delicious and I'll bet it tasted good on a sloppy cold day. You have many talents Red, and its sure is nice to hear a man say they like cooking. My Father loved to cook, but not in the house - he was the master BBQ fella and could cook an entire meal on the BBQ - hehe - "he was the bomb" - my nephew said I could say that and it was complimentary. he,he Gotta catch up with his lingo. I'll bet you cannot wait to get those skis out, Eh. Have a wonderful day.

    1. I'm sure this snow will melt this week . We have some good weather coming. I still intend to ride my bike some more before I put it away. I do cook but I'm not an expert.

    1. It's a lot of work but it's worth it. I've got lots of carrots from my garden and if I don't use them they'll spoil.

  10. Red you have more snow then we have here in the city, not a complaint by no means though! lol Yummm, the soup sounds absolutely delicious. I love curry, I just don't care for the smell so very seldom cook with it.

    Have a wonderful week!

    1. I wish soup making wasn't so much work. I have lots of carrots from my garden so I can make soup and freeze the soup. Some soup recipes are large. I know I can cut them in half!

  13. All that snow already? Nooooo... Much too soon for it!

    That soup looks great. In fact, the whole meal looks very healthy.

  16. I can't believe you're having snow! It's still sunny here in Sicily, and hot too. The beaches are still pretty full. Happy Halloween!
