While sugar cane is the source of 80% sugar of the world, 20% sugar comes from Beet roots. Other natural sweeteners are dates honey, jaggery and maple syrup.

If using carrot juice for soup. You can boil carrot and purée it in a blender. If you like it thinner, you can strains it thorough a coarse strainer. Straining is not needed for this soup.
If you want to make carrot juice for drinking than you need to chop it into small pieces first. Then put it in a blender with water and purée it. Then strain it to get juice. It is a bit cumbersome process.
