Add 1 medium sized potato, chopped; cook for about 2 minutes on medium flame.

Add 5 large carrots, chopped; continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes.

Continue to cook the carrots for another 2 to 3 minutes on medium flame.

Add 1 liter of water to the pan; bring to a rolling boil and mix gently.

Close the pan and let it cook for about 10 minutes on medium flame.

After 10 minutes, check on the vegetables; turn off the stove and cool the mixture completely.

Transfer the blended soup to a saucepan; add roughly 1 cup of water to dilute to the right consistency.

Let the soup simmer for about 5 minutes on medium flame.

Check for seasoning and add more salt and pepper if desired.
