Notes
- If using a mixie (blender) to blend the soup, allow the contents to cool first to avoid accidents. Optionally, strain the water from the mixture and set it aside. Blend the potato and carrot pieces to a fine paste, then return this paste and the strained water to a vessel. Mix well and gently heat (do not boil) for a few seconds before serving.
