Hello Viewers,

Carrots are packed with vitamins and antioxidants, making this recipe nutritious and delicious! Blend the ingredients less for a more chunky version.

1 onion, chopped
2 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped
6 cups water
2 vegetable bouillon cubes

1 teaspoon sugar
1 black pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon mixed dried herbs such as Italian Seasoning
