Fabulous soup !! I added some tumeric and ginger and sprinkled a little bit of crispy bacon on top and served with hot bread and it made a fabulous wintry Sunday nights dinner in front of the TV !!!

This was a great soup! I actually hate cooked carrots and made this for someone who had a cold, but this was amazing. The only thing that I did differently was add tumeric and curry instead of pimento. Pureeing the soup makes it very creamy and feels like you are cheating on your diet.
