    Chef tips: in which other ways can this recipe be used?

    • Depending on the season, the carrots can be replaced with courgette, broccoli, peas or cauliflower.
    • To control cost per portion, the crab meat can be replaced with grated seafood sticks, flaked tuna, tinned sardines or mackerel: low cost per portion or lobster or scallops: high cost per portion 
    • The cream of carrot soup can be flavoured with finely grated orange zest whilst the carrots are being cooked. Remove the grated zest before blending.
