"A gingery and lemony cream of carrot soup that has no cream at all! Very healthy, but you wouldn't know it by it's looks and great taste. From a very old issue of Bon Appetit, very slightly adapted. There is no salt listed in the ingredients because it all depends on your chicken broth. My homemade broth is seasoned to my taste, so I never have to add more."

A great bowl of soup for a very wet, cold day. I was going to cut recipe in half but decided to make whole thing and freeze half for later. I took Luvcookn’s suggestion and added a bit of cayenne for a little heat. Served with warmed naan bread.

Lovely satisfying soup! Made as directed with one addition. I put in some cayenne for a wee bit of heat. I used the beauteous Nantes carrots which lent a lovely sweetness to the soup. I also did not puree completely, left it rustic. This will definitely be made again this fall/winter. Perfectly suited for the cold weather. Thank you Lori for sharing.
