Carrot-Star Anise Soup image

This was something I created off the cuff because I thought the flavors would combine well... and boy, did they! Star anise is used in pho which I love, and the aroma of carrots is just spellbinding and they go well together.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover carrots. I had a bunch of carrots that were starting to go bad, so I decided to make this soup. It turned out great! The soup is creamy and flavorful, and the star anise adds a nice touch of spice.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this soup. I'm not a huge fan of star anise, but it was used very subtly in this recipe and it really complemented the carrot flavor. The soup was also very creamy and comforting.
