Napa Cabbage-Carrot Soup!

I made this very nutritious and delicious soup consisting of only Napa cabbage and carrots!

For those of you who don't know,
Napa Cabbage is a plant of the mustard family, having an elongated head of overlapping, crinkled, broad-stalked leaves and is common in Asian dishes. It is also called celery cabbage.

I'm sure everyone knows what a carrot is, but just to be safe....
The carrot is a biennial Eurasian plant in the parsley family, widely cultivated for its edible taproot.

My co worker took me to the super market the other day, so I got to pick up some napa and carrots! YAY!
Buying fresh produce is so hard, if I don't have people to take me to the store... =/
