I would almost call this carrot soup...came out very orange and tasting like the sweet carrots...very good and a great way to get your veggies in. Next time I may add some milk or cream to it and blend it more, it came out a bit veggie chunk floating in broth. Up the calories with cream but would be oh so good!
