Creamy Spicy Carrot Soup image

Rich and creamy, with a great flavor and a bright color: very pretty *and* very tasty. For a still-tasty, more-healthy version, skip the butter and the initial sauté of onion and potato entirely, replace the heavy cream with nonfat milk or soy/rice milk, and omit the soy sauce.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so I omitted the chili flakes. The soup was still delicious.
