I too added celery and garlic to this recipe. I also added fresh ginger, however, you need to decrease the amount of cayenne when you add garlic and ginger. I also only used 4 cups of chicken stock and then thinned the soup with milk..Very good

i just finished making this curry carrot soup and am eating it as i type. this was really easy to make (after i washed and trimmed all the carrots that came from my garden, of course - that always takes a while and was even easier than the recipe describes because i used an immersion blender, which i highly recommend if you like to make soups and purees. anyway, this is very tasty, but i really want to mention that you should NOT skip the sour cream; it adds a really interesting note with the spicy taste of the soup (i did the full 1/2 t of cayenne and the full 1 1/2 T of curry that should not be missed. i just put a spoonful in the center with the chives: delicious!

I also added 3-4 stalks of chopped celery with the onion and carrot when sauteing. I then added several cloves of minced garlic. I can't imagine the soup w/out the celery or garlic. This was the best, cheapest and easiest soup I have ever made. Just make sure you clean you counters, utensils immediately or else they will turn orange. I will double this next time.

I have made a carrot soup before and was not impressed, but this soup was definitely a 5 star. I added some garlic and of course halved the amount of spice since I have a tender tongue to spice. Loved it!!

I add one can of puried pumpkin and some nutmeg. I am careful about the cayenne and find 1/8 tsp is best to start with. This can also be done i a crockpot - just throw all ingredients into pot.

I tasted as I went along and discovered that it was a little salty. I compensated for this by adding 1 1/2 cups of half & half plus 1 tsp sugar, which made a big difference.
I suggest using "low sodium" chicken broth, "salt free" curry, and omiting the tsp of salt at the recipe beginning.
Otherwise, it is a very good recipe and I will make it again.

I am always looking for good quick recipes that use fresh ingredients rather than the "cream of mushroom soup" kind of quick recipes. This recipe does all of that. Yes, it is a bit spicy, but in a flavorful way not in a "Yikes my mouth is on fire!" way. You can just reduce the amount of curry to your own taste, but I thought the amount of seasonings were perfect.
