In autumn, carrots make a delicious cream of carrot soup with the addition of caraway seeds. By roasting the carrots on the stove top with butter first, the carrots reach a deeper flavor. After blending the carrots and cooling, a splash of cream completes the dish. This soup is autumn comfort food at its best.
