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!

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>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>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! :-))
