I make a potatoe soup with carrots in it that is really good. I guess you could leave the potatoes out and just use carrots but everyone loves it the way it is.
Boil cut up potatoes in just enough water to cover them, with a cut up onion and salt to taste. When potatoes are tender, add 1-2 cups of grated carrots, 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, enough milk to make it the right consistancy and a half a lb. of velveeta cheese and a heaping tsp. of minced garlic and coarse pepper to taste. Let it cook on simmer until carrots are tender. Enjoy and this is good for company coming with crusty bread on the side.
