Bland as is. Delicious with 4-5 tbsp of lemon juice, pinch each of paprika and pepper, 1 cup of cream. Pepper flakes and/or curry should also be nice. Pureeing most of it makes for lovely texture. Great as a first course or for lunch with sandwich.

Added two cloves of garlic and carmelized the onion in the butter .. used chicken stock and added 50 ml of cream (using 5 carrots) ... wonderful!

Mary Jo

I added 2 cloves of garlic and fresh ginger to the puree. And some black pepper. Delicious!!

Delicious--made with olive oil instead of butter, caramelized 2 cloves of garlic with the onion, used less water than 5 cups, sprinkled with chopped parsley

Tracy

I used 4 cups of home made chicken stock plus one cup water, a large garlic clove and a tablespoon of minced ginger. I reduced the onion to half a medium size red onion. This was delicious for a light dinner. I left it slightly chunky.

Added a 1/3 a cup of coconut milk and fresh ginger. Delicious!
