Brighton Soup - Kosher Carrot and Cheddar Velouté

When temperatures start to drop, I always put a beautiful soup on the weekly menu at least once. Some people tend to find soups boring, but it’s quite the opposite for us – we have so much fun making them with all kinds of vegetables and cheeses. Topped with a few croutons, toasted bread, focaccia… A complete meal that pleases the whole family. Here’s a new soup to add to your list, Brighton soup. It’s a delicious soup with English accents, slightly velvety thanks to cheddar cheese that pairs wonderfully with the sweetness of carrots.

The meat becomes so tender it can be cut with a fork.
