Creamy and rich, this soup can be made vegan with vegetable stock/water or with chicken broth. Perfect for entertaining or a casual family gathering, both versions are quite delicious and great to serve if you have different types of eaters in your family. This soup was inspired by a soup I had in Yosemite at Tenaya Lodge on Mother's Day, and it was so tasty that I came home and immediately designed a recipe that captured the creamy rich and light soup I had at that wonderful restaurant. Using baby carrots helps tp keep the soup sweet and avoid any bitter undertones.
