4 tsp margarine non-hydrogenated 18 g
1 2/3 cup chicken broth 420 mL

Before you start

A blender or food processor will be very useful to purée the soup.

Method

  1. Prepare the carrots and onions. Peel and cut into 3 cm pieces.
  2. Heat the margarine in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the carrots and onions and cook 5 min, with occasional stirring. Add the broth and soy milk, bring to a boil, then lower the heat. Cover and simmer about 15 min, until the vegetables are soft. Purée in a blender until smooth. Add the chopped mint, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
  3. Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish each with fresh mint leaves, then serve.

Observations

The soup keeps up to 7 days in the refrigerator or up to 4 months in the freezer.
