Ingredients:  
1 pound carrots, scrubbed or peeled, coarsely chopped
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 small jalapeno chili pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
5 black peppercorns
1 bay leaf

1/3 cup whipping cream
Salt
Pepper

Garnish:
1/2 cup crème fraîche
2 tablespoons fresh dill or cilantro, finely chopped
Directions:
Directions:
Cook carrots, onion, ginger, garlic, and jalapeno in olive oil in a large pot, over medium heat, stirring frequently, until vegetables show the first sign of caramelizing (browning); about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, tie peppercorns, bay leaf, and thyme in a piece of cheesecloth. (Note: you can also just drop the spices directly into the soup and disregard use of cheesecloth.) When vegetables are ready, add cheesecloth bag and chicken stock; heat to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, until carrots are very tender; about 30 minutes. Remove cheesecloth bag.

Puree soup in a blender, in small batches, holding the top securely in place to prevent the hot soup from overflowing, until very smooth. Stir in whipping cream; season with salt and pepper. Strain through a fine strainer, if desired.

Reheat, if necessary, and ladle into serving bowls. Garnish each serving with a tablespoon of crème fraîche and a light sprinkling of chopped dill or cilantro.

Personal Notes:
This is a rich cream of carrot soup with a sweet, spicy flavor. Serve with an amber lager.
