Red lentil and carrot cream soup (My magic soup) (Sopa cremosa de lentejas rojas con zanahorias)









In these Christmas times beautiful and crazy, 
(although I do not go out much I'm the one that I get to those who come to the house) a simple and delicious  soup recipe, and then we continue with the Christmas recipes.

I call it my magic soup, because of how rich it is, how fast it is made and how comforting it is. My daugther say  that also has many vitamins and is good. But I do it because  only I love it.
Is vegetarian too, have red lentils, carrots, spices, curry, some basil and zucchini,  :)
