Wonderful!! I cut down on the fat by reducing the butter to 1 Tbl and using fat-free half-and-half instead of heavy whipping cream. Didn't affect the taste at all! Note that 10 carrots is the same as 4 cups whole baby carrots (chop before adding). I also used 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/8 tsp. pepper - would do that again. Be sure and puree the soup after cooking or carrots will be chunky. Thanks for the recipe!
This soup is surprisingly good! I am not even that fond of carrots. The one thing I highly recommend is making it into a puree. I tried it both ways and it is far better if you whip it all up in the blender. Plus it's a beautiful orange color!
This is a wonderful recipe! I used the ingredients that I had on hand which means that I used reduced sodium chicken broth (and I would again) and half and half instead of whipping cream. I also didn't have any marjoram or dill weed but didn't miss it at all. I also pureed the soup prior to adding the corn starch and half and half. I would definitely make this again!
Wow! I can't get enough of this soup! The subtle blend of flavors is perfect. It's a great accompaniment to quiches sandwiches or hearty salads. I use vegetable broth instead of chicken and half & half instead of cream. Yum!
I made this soup last year and my family loved it. Let's just say my family doesn't do soups. Especially not carrot but they loved this one! Caught me by suprise how easy it was and how great it tasted. Highly recommend it. Thanks for sharing it. Linda.
I made this soup because I had tons of carrots and needed a way to use them up fast. I had never had carrot soup before. I was very suprised that everyone loved it..including two picky toddlers! I prepared the ingredients just as written then I smoothed it out with an emulsion blender and added some crumbled crisp-cooked bacon on the top. I will be making this again. Thanks for the great recipe!
A thick rich creamy DELICIOUS soup. We really enjoyed it for dinner last night. And I have been making soup for 2 years now every Wednesday and this is one of the best I've made. One thing tho ---use a food processor to slice the carrots --I did mine by hand & it took forever to do.
Awesome soup! Elegant first course. Haven't tried it on the kids yet but certainly will.
I LOVE carrot soup but have never made it myself.Come to think of it I don't make many soups myself but this intrigued me because of the dill.The 1st time I ever had carrot soup it had dill & that set the pace for my love of it.This was a good recipe but I used fresh dill & found I really had to put a lot in to get the flavor that I like.Due to previous reviews I choose not to cut the carrots up but to grate them & after trying the "finished" product decided to puree 2/3rd of it. This way it was smoother but still left a bit of the "chunkiness".
Although this soup smelled fanstatic and looked beautiful my husband and I were underwhelmed by its flavor. I used rather large "pinches" of the seasonings but the soup still tasted rather bland. If I had ordered it in a restaurant I wouldn't have been disappointed but neither would I have been eager to order it again. If you like subtly flavored food then definitely give this recipe a try but if you prefer more robust flavors (as I do) you may want to give this recipe a miss.
