I used 2 cans of veg broth and 1 can of chicken broth, plus some water. After pureeing, I added about 1/2 cup of cream (it was leftover). To serve, I diced some raw carrots, put in the bowl, and then ladled soup over it. I topped it off with a little fresh grated parmesan cheese. Simply delicious.

This was not flavorful enough for my taste. When I made it a second time I added an additional 2 teaspoons of cumin, 6 cloves of garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. I also used additional vegetable broth to thin it instead of water. These changes made a very tasty soup.

What's up with all the bad reviews? I bought 10lbs of carrots for $1.47, so I looked for a good and simple carrot soup recipe, and this provided exactly that. It's so delicious! I did follow the suggestions of others, using chicken broth (cheaper and easier to find) and another tbsp of curry. I also added 3 cloves of garlic in with the onion. I made some of my own additions: a little less than a tablespoon's worth of cumin, 2 tsp of cinnamon, and 1 tsp each of chili powder, ginger, salt, and pepper. This probably added a lot more zing than the original recipe intended, but it was delicious--tasted like real Indian cuisine! For the leftovers, I plan to sautée some cubed beef and throw it in, serving it over some rice. Next time I make it, I think I'll add milk in at the end, instead of water, to make it just a little bit creamy. Thank you!

I found this to be quite a tasty soup! I did as another reviewer suggested and added another tablespoon of curry. Also, at the end, I added about two spoons of cream, which didn't help nor hurt the soup. Overall, this is a good soup and one that I will definitely make again.

This was a great soup! Aside from having to chop all those carrots it was quick and easy to make and full of flavour! My friend just can't get enough of this soup and has volunteered to cut the carrots as long as I make it again! Tastes best if you puree it with an immersion or regular blender.

I really enjoy this soup! Although I as others added the fresh garlic and ginger. I didn't have fresh carrots so I used canned ( I know I'm not a fan of canned veggies either but I had them so I used them)and the veggie broth I used was from dark green leafy vegetables so of course it tinted the color of my soup slightly but the taste was suprisingly good! I can't wait to try it with fresh carrots!

This was truly divine! The only thing I did was add garlic, and carmelized both it and the onions first. I did not thin it at all with water. The texture was more appealing to me when thick. Sooooo good! Now on my list of faves!

I am addicted to this soup! It tastes creamy and a little sinful but it is so healthy! I use fat free low sodium chicken broth. This is probably my bet allrecipes.com find. It can be a little heavy on the curry though so if you're not a curry person I would cut back.

I made this recipe adding garlic and double the curry as others suggested. I didn't need to add any extra water as it was the right consistency for me with just the broth, but the soup was bland, so I added a 1/3 cup of cream cheese at the end and it did the trick. I will make this soup again with the cream cheese as I think it really enhances the flavor without making it too rich.

This is the best soup I have ever had, with a few minor changes! A good friend made this with 2 tbsp curry (if you like a kick), omit the water, and add 2 tbsp brown sugar. Fantastic!

I don't know how to say this, so I'll just come on right out and say it, this reminded me of eating dirt, I can never seem to find a carrot soup that doesn't taste like I'm eating earth. I don't know why because I love carrots, but they never seem to translate well into soup. I'll keep searching for that perfect recipe, but my mom liked this so I'll be nice and give it 2 stars.

Excellent low calorie soup. I add a tablespoon of low fat Sour Cream to each bowl adding 16 calories but it really improves the taste and texture of the soup. I also used this recipe reducing the liquid while cooking to be the curry gravy for curried baked chicken - it was great and very low calorie while increasing the fiber and vegetable content without using cream!

really bland. Not the same type of curried soup I was expecting. I added fresh ground ginger and still not that great. Still searching for the right curried carrot soup.

This is a delicious soup! I added some fresh garlic to the onions and a bit of ginger. I didn't have any vegetable broth so I ended up using chicken broth! I really enjoyed this and will continue to make it! Cheers!
