Based on a soup recipe from Beatrice Ojakangas' book, The Finnish Cookbook. I confess that I added the brandy to the carrots!

    This is a lovely soup in taste + texture & so easy to fix! 1st my talk w/DH: DH This is great soup, but strange. Me Why strange? DH It looks like carrot soup & I see bits of carrot on top, but it has a certain non-carrot quality to it. Me Smiling It is carrot soup, but yours is not to reason why or how. All that said, the quality he noted is clearly the unique combo of ingredients that work so well together. None of them predominate, but the nutmeg is inspired & makes for a taste treat. I took 1 shortcut & pureed the carrots w/the stock using my magic bullet as I made the cream base. I added carrot in Julienne strips to the top & then the parsley & nutmeg (prob more than a dash) as directed. Viola! We loved it! Thx for sharing your recipe w/us.
