Cream of Carrot Soup

"One of my uncles and aunts was here for what is likely to be his last visit (he has cancer and is not doing well), so I wanted to prepare a really nice dinner. The original recipe was for 4, but I modified slightly, and doubled to serve 8, serving as the first course. It originated in one of my diabetic cookbooks (uncle and aunt are both diabetic), but was a major hit with the non-diabetics as well as the diabetics. Everyone was disappointed there was none left (for thirds)."

  1. I am a soup lover and this one tasted Really Great, and we all loved it. I did puree' only half the carrots because I wanted a little crunch, but taste-wise it was truly Right On and worked wonderfully with Inez's Cheese Straws! Thanks Cindy Lynn..
     
  2. I loved this soup!
     
  3. Carrot Soup! Who ever heard of Carrot Soup? Sounds utterly dreadful. I can't imagine it tastes any good. Hey....this isn't that bad. It's actually pretty good. In fact, it's wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!!! A little sweet and just a tad salty...not too much salt though. And creamy. It's smooth and creamy! That's it, I'm having seconds...brb. Dang, there's none left. Can we make some more please?<br/><br/>I actually made this recipe exactly as directed and the family loved it. And I really didn't get seconds because it really was all gone by the time I got back to it, lol. I imagine you could make a large batch on a weekend and freeze it for future use, which is what I'll do the next time I make this. Bravo! Great recipe!
     
  4. Loved this!! So hearty & delicious & fairly quick to make.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am currently a stay at home Mom and wife (aka: homemaker, domestic engineer, chauffeur, etc.). My husband and I made this choice about 2 1/2 years ago. At the time I was averaging 72 hours/week +. Our kids were complaining that they never saw me, and one of them was even getting in trouble (too little supervision apparently). We got the troubled teen through high school, and she is currently preparing for college. Things have improved a lot so I am considering going back to work part-time while the kids are gone to school (if the right opportunity presents itself). <br> <br>I love to cook, especially trying new recipes. I get tired of the same ol', same ol'. I also love reading cookbooks and the history of recipes. I always hated doing all the dishes afterwards, so I did a lot of one dish meals whenever possible. Recently, my husband bought me a new dishwasher, so now I am cooking up a storm! Everyone is loving it. <br> <br>I look forward to making new friends in Recipezaar, trying out new recipes, and hope some of you will try some of mine. Please, if you try my recipes, take time to post a little note telling me about your experience and any modifications you may have made. I just love to experiment and try new things in the kitchen! :-))
