My garden has truly been a garden of plenty and I am amazed every time I go out there. Zucchinis are like baseball bats, cherry tomatoes by the truck load and once dug up my carrots are lovely bunches of orange goodness. They are not long leggy ones like you may find in the grocery store but rather plump intertwined mass. The colour ranges from typical carrot orange to a muted orange/white and the flavour is phenomenal. Sweet and earthy which is perfect for this delightful soup.
