Steps:
- Preheat medium pot over medium high heat. Add olive oil, butter, onions and carrots and saute 5 minutes. Add 4 cups chicken stock, curry and cayenne, and about 1 teaspoon salt to the pot. Bring to a boil, cover and cook until carrots are very tender, about 15 minutes. Place pot on a trivet next to food processor. Process soup in 2 or 3 small batches until soup is smooth and carrots are fully pureed. Transfer processed soup into a large bowl as you work to make room for more soup in the food processor. Return completed soup to the soup pot and place back over low heat. If the soup is too thick, add remaining stock, up to 2 cups, to achieve desired consistency. Adjust seasonings. Place sour cream in a plastic condiment squeeze bottle or into a medium food storage bag. Cut a very small hole in the corner of the bag with scissors. Ladle soup into bowls and squirt a swirl of sour cream around the bowl from the center out to the rim. Drag a toothpick from the center of the bowls out to the edges, forming a spider web design on soup. Pile a few pieces of cut chives at the center of each bowl to resemble green spiders in their webs! Cool!

Steps:
- Heat the butter and olive oil in a large, heavy soup pot over medium-low heat and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the carrots and 1/2 teaspoon salt, cover partially and cook for another 10 minutes, stirring often, until the vegetables are tender and fragrant. Add the rice, water or stock, salt (about 1 1/2 teaspoons), and sugar. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 30 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and the soup is fragrant.
- Blend the soup either with a hand blender, in batches in a blender (cover the top with a towel and hold it down to avoid hot splashes), or through a food mill fitted with the fine blade. The rice should no longer be recognizable (it thickens the soup). Return to the pot. Stir and taste. Adjust salt, add a generous amount of freshly ground pepper, and heat through. If the sweetness of the carrots needs a boost, add another pinch of sugar.
- Serve, garnishing each bowl with croutons and a sprinkle of herbs.

ROASTED CARROT SOUP
This is one of my favorite soups, from a Food52 community member. It's done in about 30 minutes: silky, complex, nutritious, and perfect either as a first course or as a meal in itself. Roasting the carrots and infusing the broth with ginger and thyme are the secrets to giving the soup a sweet, earthy depth. Use a quality vegetable stock-since there are so few ingredients here, each one really counts.

Steps:
- Peel and cut the carrots into ½-inch rounds. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the carrots with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt. Set an oven rack 6 to 8 inches from the heat source and turn on the broiler. Broil the carrots until they brown and soften, turning them over with a spatula every 5 minutes or so; this should take 15-20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring the stock to a boil. Add the ginger and the sprig of thyme and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
- Dice the onion and place in a medium stockpot with the remaining olive oil. Cook the onion over medium heat, stirring frequently, until softened and lightly browned. Season. Add the garlic, and then the carrots.
- Remove the ginger and thyme from the stock, and add the stock to the pot with the onions and carrots. Bring to boil and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, until the carrots are soft enough to purée.
- Use an immersion or standard blender to purée the mixture until smooth. If the soup seems too thick, add more stock or water and gently reheat. Add salt and pepper to taste. To serve, ladle into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh thyme.
Tips:
- Use good quality carrots: Fresh, organic carrots with bright orange color will yield the best flavor.
- Don't overcook the carrots: They should be tender but still have a slight bite to them.
- Use a good quality sherry: A dry or medium-dry sherry will work best.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices: A pinch of cumin, ginger, or nutmeg can add a nice touch of flavor.
- Serve the soup with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream: This will help to balance the sweetness of the carrots.
Conclusion:
Sherried carrot soup is a delicious and versatile soup that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
