VERY good and I made it according to the recipe EXCEPT (Sorry ya'll it's really horrible to rate a recipe which I didn't follow to a "T" I have to say that I didn't have the cumin seeds or the coriander. Also I did not strain it through the sieve. NEXT time I will make it with ALL the ingredients because this 'almost' Michael Symon Carrot soup was worthy of serving at a dinner party...REALLY!

took the time to make this soup and so glad i did. guests raved and i have put it in my keeper file. i did not have cumin seeds so that ingredient was not included. i almost didn't put it thru the sieve as it tasted so good but then i decided to follow the recipe thru the first time i tried it and actually glad i did. the taste was far more refined that way. i also debated whether to serve it hot or chilled and decided on chilled but i think it would be delicious either way.
i am not a fan of the vegetable carrot but was looking for a different soup to make as a starter course. i would eat carrots every day this way!
