Leek and Carrot Soup image

The leeks and carrots make this a sweet vegetable soup. If you want a very smooth soup you will have to push it through a sieve. Its low in calories and healthy. (I do like that swirl of cream though)

I'm allergic to dairy, so I used almond milk instead of heavy cream. It worked perfectly and the soup was still creamy and delicious.
