Cold Carrot & Apple Soup

I love soups and I always try out various combinations with soups. This cold soup is prepared with carrot, apple, pineapple juice and orange juice. Definetly, apples with carrot gave a wonderful taste. Also, the fruit juices mixed with them gave a nice flavour. We enjoyed this colourful, healthy and delicious soup with toasted whole wheat bread. The soup with toasted bread makes up to a great meal in hot summer days.
