Curried Carrot Soup (Rachel Ray)

I struggled to find a tasty carrot soup, making three different recipe versions before I decided to try Rachel Ray's Curried Carrot Soup.  It's a winner!

Her recipe describes how to decorate it as a spider web, probably to attract children.  However, I think the curry makes it quite spicy so do a taste check before the children have at it.  On the other hand, the curry adds a nice spice and warmth to the throat and tummy, perfect for a cold night, which it certainly is now!  The sour cream is a great last touch, but it's also not totally necessary so don't sweat running to the store for it. 

Rachel Ray hasn't failed me yet.  I'm so glad her recipe was a success!  I hope you like it too :)
