Soup is wonderful. Rich flavor and easy to make. Made with homemade chicken stock, doubled recipe and omitted rice. Will make again. (Was given 5 lbs of carrots and wanted to make use of them. Made chicken, vegetable soup too. Delicious.)

This made for a great side to dinner.. full of flavors. We didn't think it was too sweet. Made as written minus the salt, and used white rice. Not 1 complaint. made for Zaar Stars..

What a nice surprise--a tasty, healthy soup that's so elegant it's company-worthy. I did end up using baby carrots and they turned out to be an absolutely perfect foundation for the soup. Not one drop was left over and you can bet that we'll be making this again! Thanks for posting, Mikekey! :)

This was delicious! I didn't find it to be too sweet, but I used a very large carrot and it wasn't too sweet to start with. I think if I made it with baby carrots, it wouldn't have been as good. I made it as listed except half the amount of oil. Made for Went to the Market. Thanks a lot!
