This easy spiced carrot soup is a zingy version which is super healthy too. You can make with chicken or vegetable broth - both versions are delicious. Serve it with flatbread or wholesome rolls.

2 sticks of celery
1 kg carrots
2 cloves garlic, minced

Chop the onions and celery finely, then dice the carrots.
Heat the oil, add the chopped vegetables, fry them gently until softened.
