Cream of Carrot Soup image

Rich tasting, warm and comforting. I had a recipe I loved for this soup, but the original called for a lot more butter and 2 cups of heavy cream. I didn't really want to save this soup for special occasions only, so I attempted to reduce the fat & calories by reducing the butter and replacing the cream with evaporated milk - I have even tried evaporated skim milk with success (but it is better with whole evaporated milk). If I am serving this to guests, I use the half-n- half, but for just me I like it with the milk. I have never missed the cream in this.

This soup is so easy to make and it's so delicious! I love that I can use fresh or frozen carrots. I also like that I can add other vegetables to the soup, such as potatoes, celery, or onions.
