  1. 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.
     
  2. 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.
     
  3. 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 would like to let you all know that I am no longer able to review your recipes that I have tried. since they changed the site around webtv does not supprt zaars new site.I have a webtv not a computer and webtv does not support the new recipezaar site. so I will no longer be able to review your great recipes,nor will I be able to put my own recipes on here.Please don't think I wouldn't like to review your recipes,it was one of the nice parts of zaar that I did enjoy doing. So please forgive!!! I am Married to the same guy for 40 years,I Have 2 beautiful Daughters, who have given me 6 grand and glorious grandchildren. I love to cook,in fact you could call it my favorite hobby My pet peeve is telemarketers,Every time I get busy with my recipe hobby one of them will call and knock me off the web,and of coarse I waste precious time getting back on.I am disabled,so I no longer work,and have plenty of time to pursue my hobby. My best dish I make is Lasagna but thats just because I love lasagna.I am also asked to bring No-Bake cookies at all of our potlucks, and linger-longers at church.Meat loaf is another often requested dish I am asked to bring...... NOT MY meatloaf but .... My husbands. He is as good a cook as I am,He can cook anything I can cook, and I can cook anything he can cook,but some things I make better,and some He makes better...So we do a lot of compromising at our house.
