I immediately understood why this recipe is one of Wolfgang Puck's personal favorites after the first spoonful! It's a symphonic blend of carrot, ginger, and other flavors that is difficult to forget. The heavy cream and butter lend the perfect amount of richness to the soup without becoming overbearing. Just use 3-lbs of orange carrots if you can't find the white and yellow ones that the recipe requires (I'll be looking for those to add to future batches). The flavor and appearance are spectacular! Either your personal tastes or the inherent sweetness of your carrots will determine the amount of honey you add. I suggest increasing it for children who loathe vegetables. This is a prime example of a flavorful, cream-based soup in which all of the ingredients complement each other instead of competing for dominance on one's palate. Chopping 3-lbs of carrots is the only labor-intensive step, but the resulting soup more than rewards one's efforts!
