I made this with fat-free half & half to lighten it up a bit. I couldn't tell from the original recipe whether to simmer the carrots covered or uncovered - doing it covered made a fairly thin soup. If you want a thicker soup, I'd imagine leaving it uncovered would help. From The Joy of Cooking.

I'd give this soup a 4 out of 5 stars. The flavor was great, but it was a bit too thick for my taste. I would have liked it to be a bit more brothy.

The soup was easy to make and had a nice flavor. I would have liked it to be a bit thicker, so I might add some cornstarch next time.

I've tried many cream of carrot soup recipes, but this one is by far the best. It's so easy to make and the flavor is incredible. I love that it's not too heavy, so I can enjoy a bowl without feeling weighed down. Definitely a keeper!
