Winter is coming.
It’s the season of comfort food, curries, casseroles, soups, etc.
The sweetness of the carrots and the heat of the horseradish makes this creamy carrot horseradish soup a perfect comfort food for winter and the cold weather that is coming.
Horseradish is one of the underrated ingredients. It has some beneficial effects on our health, and if you ask me, it should be used more often in recipes. It is rich in dietary fibers, folate, potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, manganese and vitamin C.
In other words, perfect for fighting colds, and strengthening the immune system.
