Cream Of Carrot Soup

This recipe works well, be careful when cooking to avoid scorching (there is a lot of sugar in onions and carrots).If you use bullion cubes be careful of the salt, Sunny D makes an interesting change from real Orange juice. This is a good substitute for Potatoe Soup, good during Christmas goes well with turkey, goose The flavour will be subtle,garnish with carrot curls from a vegetable peeler.
