Do you want to know more about this carrot bisque?

First of all, I have to clarify that the original bisque It is a velouté, creamy and highly seasoned soup of French origin, classically made from shellfish.

This recipe It does not take anything neither fish nor shellfish but we have called it bisque because they share many characteristics:

The first is undoubtedly his orange color. In our it is easily obtained because carrots contain carotenoids which, as you already know, are precursors of vitamin A.

The second is its texture. The classic bisque is so velvety like our carrot cream and it is also usually combined with another more solid texture, in this case with the carrot slices that your children will love.

And the last characteristic they share is the use of seasonings. For this recipe we have used fine herbs and marjoram but you can substitute it for oregano, chopped parsley, chives or any other.

Needless to say, this bisque or carrot cream has sweet notess. So make sure to give it the exact amount of salt so it doesn't get confused with a dessert.
