I’ve made my version with almonds and cashews, nutmeg, dried mint, and cinnamon, but added a swirl of good rose harissa at the end. It was simply – perfect! This is my version: http://maninas.wordpress.com/2008/12/08/the-best-carrot-soup-ever/. It works really well with pumpkin, too. I also used a similar technique to make a green lentil and carrot soup, which was excellent, too. – You can tell I’m a fan of the recipe!
