Curry, ginger and garlic are the savory seasonings in Thom Armentrout's soup. "I serve it piping hot," he notes from Fredericksburg, Virginia.

Ingredients

1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
2 pounds carrots, thinly sliced
2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) chicken broth
1 cup half-and-half cream
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon dill weed
Pepper to taste

Directions

In a large saucepan, saute onion and garlic in butter. Stir in curry and ginger. Add carrots and broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes or until carrots are tender. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
Transfer to a blender; cover and process soup mixture in batches until smooth. Return to the saucepan. Add the cream, water, dill and pepper. Cook until heated through (do not boil).
