Directions:
Saute the carrots and onions in a large skillet or soup pot in 4 tablespoons of the butter for a few minutes. Add the sugar, 1 tsp. salt, the diced potato, and the water. Cover tightly and simmer until the vegetables are just tender.

Puree the vegetables in a blender with the cream.

Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a skillet and stir in the flour. Cook the roux until it is golden. Heat the milk and stir it into the roux with a whisk. Cook the white sauce over a very small flame, stirring often, until thickened.

Combine the carrot puree and the white sauce in a large pot. Grate in some pepper and add paprika and cayenne to taste, as well as a little minced garlic if you like. Add a little brandy and salt to taste.

Simmer the soup gently for another 10 or 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve hot, garnished with croutons or chopped parsley.
