## Steps

1. Peel the carrots, wash them and cut each one lengthways into four pieces, removing the core. Cut each quarter into pieces about 5 cm long.
2. In a pressure cooker, melt the butter, add the carrots and stir.
3. Add a few spoonfuls of water, the salt and the bicarbonate of soda.
4. Cook under pressure. (30 min)
5. Cool the pressure cooker under cold running water.
6. Transfer the carrots to a blender, add the carrot juice and, if needed, a little water, and blend until smooth.
7. Strain the mixture, pour the soup into a pan, place over heat and bring to a gentle simmer.
8. Mix the ricotta with garlic, paprika, chilli powder, black pepper and herbs, stirring until smooth.
9. Using two spoons, shape small quenelles and place one in each bowl, then pour over the hot soup.
10. Finish the dish with a light drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of the mixed herbs.

## What was changed

Goat's ricotta Ricotta has been swapped for ordinary ricotta, since it is easier to find in UK supermarkets.
