Over the years, I’ve discovered a sneaky way to get all sorts of vegetables into my kids: a bowl of soup. What makes soup so universally appealing? Perhaps it’s the intoxicating aroma that permeates every corner of the house when a pot of soup simmers on the stove—or maybe it’s the buttery potato chunks that are often involved. I don’t ask questions, I just stir up enormous, steaming potfuls as often as possible. The leftovers keep well in the fridge and freezer for school lunches or an easy dinner when time’s in short supply.
Use the sweetest carrots for this soup—or add a tiny bit of honey to taste, if you like.
