"If you love cooked carrots, you will love this soup! Hubby isn't crazy about cooked carrots, but he likes this soup, especially with the peppers. Usually I add jalapeno, but last time I roasted a poblano chili and added it. The flavor was delicious, although I shouldn't have added the whole thing, it was too hot for me."
