Carrot Soup

I have really been craving some carrot soup lately. We used to have it a friend's house during Christmas every year, but this year they changed it up with a lobster bisque. Still delicious, but not what I wanted! I mean, I still ate it of course...you can't be rude! I decided to take the plunge and make my own with the carrots we had growing in our fridge. I found a recipe online and modified it to our ingredients on hand.

Voila! Carrot soup. I think I should have followed the recipe a little more exactly because it turn out a little peppery and more like a carrot puree until I added more chicken stock!

What goes better with carrot soup than freshly made bread?! Nothing, so I made bread. It was a little underdone, but I completely blame the bread machine and not my lack of cooking skills for that one! Overall it was a nice meal, if a little peppery. Next time I'll know to a. use less pepper and b. make more bread!
