An unusual soup, but since I particularly like carrots, it was well worth trying! I made the Carrot & Orange version & enjoyed that combo! I added a bit more OJ, & the texture & consistency was just fine, & the recipe worth making again! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adopted orphans in the current Pick-A-Chef]

I like to EAT! Too much, I'm afraid! Food & recipes that are traditional and old school are my favorites. There is so much conveniece food out there which I am greatful for, but sometimes its just really nice to make something up from scratch!
