Author Notes

I opened the refrigerator the other day in search of ingredients to make soup. The goal was to make a low sodium, low fat soup that I could have for lunch that week. I looked at the huge carrots that I bought earlier in the week at Produce Junction. These carrots were so big that just one would have fed Bugs for a week. So here is what I came up with and it is pretty good and I think “Doc” would have approved. —blaganella
