Carrot soup

Rob was visiting last week, and it was great. This was an exceptionally succesful holiday, almost all planned activities got done in the end. We went skiing, we walked on the river, we watched the movies we wanted to see, we talked, we went to the pub with my friends, we ate at that awesome restaurant that serves unbelievably greasy but awesomely delicious food. 
Celebrated my birthday. Cooked all day. It's so great to have a willing helper at hand!

Rob went back home this morning. After over a week of indulging in all kinds of fatty, sugary and delicious culinary stuff, it's time to take a break.

Here goes my first...

Carrot soup (Rob's mum gave me the initial push)

4 medium carrots (or 2 huge ones)
1 potato
1 small onion
25g butter
1l vegetable stock
salt, pepper, nutmeg or cayenne pepper if you wish.

Put all vegetables(roughly chopped) in a deep saucepan and fry them in the butter for about 15 minutes (the carrots should be a little softer at this point). Season with salt and pepper. Add the stock and boil for another 15 minutes. Puree with a blender. Adjust seasonings.
Yum.
