Carrot is good for skin, for eye sight and other skin related issues.The bright orange colour is irresistible.consuming carrot juice everyday is suppose to be very healthy so I try to prepare this soup once in a month at least.All my friends love it and the final addition of basil brings a spark in peoples eye.Perfect treat to our taste buds.
