I'm not usually a fan of carrot soup, but this recipe changed my mind. It was so creamy and flavorful, with just the right amount of sweetness. I'll definitely be making this again.

This creamy carrot soup was a hit with my family! The carrots were perfectly tender and the soup was so flavorful. I added a bit of extra garlic and ginger, and it turned out amazing.
