Creamy Carrot Soup

You look in your fridge and you see that you haven't used your carrots. What am I going to make? - Yet another smoothie or something else.

How about something else :) With Spring finally here and Bunnies all around, well the Easter Bunny and Easter not too far away that is - and with my girls loving to munch on raw carrots - why not make, a simple and quick soup.

If you're wondering if your little ones will eat this well heres what my girls did. Carys ate 4 bowls of the soup & Seren in her innocence said, "Mammy bunnies eat carrots, not carrot soup!" and ate 2 spoons full - well at least she tried it right :)

 Creamy Carrot Soup.

 12 good sized carrots

1 Large Onion

1 Stick of Butter

1 stem of fresh Rosemary

3/4 of  the carton of Half & Half

Salt and Pepper

Dash or two of Curry Powder

Clean & Peel the Carrots, then chop & dice carrots 

& Onion.

Using a large stock pot, melt the stick of butter

Once the soup has come to a boil, remove the Rosemary & discard.
