Easy and cheap to do. I found this recipe in a recipe game and decided to make it for my mother in law's visit. I did have to add salt and pepper after it was done--not enough seasoning. The consistency in the blender is perfect, and this couldn't be more economical to make. Thanks!

    I loved this soup! It's a real tumm-warmer! I doubled the recipe, but only increased the cream by 50%. I used fresh garlic instead of powder and added a bit of tarragon. After pureeing, it's such a great consistancy and flavor, that I think (if you're concerned about fat) you could do without the cream, or maybe add just a little...maybe even some low-fat milk. Thanx for posting this yummy soup; I'll make it again.

    I really liked this soup. I have had no luck before when making carrot soup in the past. I agree with the reviewer parsley. I could easily live without the cream. ( I did not add it) Next time I will double this recipe. Inexpensive and pleasantly tasty belly warmer of a soup. Thanks for the recipe.
