Oh yum. But did cut the sugar back to 1/2 c and could probably go down to a 1/3 c ... but that's "Mom" taste. My two sons, aged 13 and 10, thought it was appropriately sweet, while I felt my face scrunching up a little. Toss in a lil cinnamon with the other dry ingredients ...

These were great, although I didn't add msg (I wasn't as scandalized by the suggestion as some other seemed to be and just replaced it with salt). That was the only change I made. I don't quite see how you'd even get anything remotely similar to this flavor by using canned carrots or microwaving them, although I could see boiling them first ... but probably wouldn't because that would just be one more pot to clean and I'm never about making more dirty dishes than necessary!!

I was hesitant about trying this recipe because I didn't think my kids would go for it, but since we had two big heads from a pick-your-own farm that I didn't want to see go to waste, I went for it - and was very pleasantly surprised. Unlike some others, I did go ahead and use the tomato soup, but no recipe gets left untouched ... I did add some diced potatoes (we also have a lot of THOSE from the pick-your-own farm) and added some more broth to compensate for added veggie volume. Mu husband absolutely raved, kids didn't rave but didn't complain. And boy - is it filling!
