Carrot soup? - piano226 - 06-25-2008 Have any of you seen recently a recipe of cream of carrot soup? I could have sworn I saw it recently at C@H...but now...cannot find it. Thanks Re: Carrot soup? - labradors - 06-25-2008 Not sure about the magazine, but there is local classified-advertising paper (sort of a small version of the Pennysaver, et al) that appears on our doorsteps once a week. A couple of years ago, they printed this simple recipe that was actually pretty good (of course, I have translated it into English): Crema de Zanahoria (Cream of Carrot Soup) Makes 4 servings INGREDIENTS:
P.S.: I have commented, before, on the size of the carrots here. Well, when I was in the store the other day, I saw one carrot there that was THREE INCHES thick at its thickest point, so I put it onto the scale to check it out. It was two and a half POUNDS - just ONE carrot! Again, the funny thing is: even though these are gigantic carrots, they are delicious. Re: Carrot soup? - farnfam - 06-25-2008 MMmmm Rob, that does sound simple and satifying. Make a nice light lunch by itself eh?

I thought, "Oh boy, this sounds delish...NOT!" Surprisingly it was delicious. I decided to make my own, but haven't yet.
