Ingredients

This recipe makes a large quantity so, the serving size is up to you. I posted 6 servings but, this would probably be a full dinner size portion.
8 large carrots, peeled
4 medium white potatoes, peeled
1 large sweet potato, peeled
1/2 large sweet onion
6 cups fat free, low sodium chicken stock, or enough to cover vegetables to simmer
1 tsp ground cumin
1/8 tsp nutmeg
2 bay leaves
salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup fat free half and half, for creamy texture
Directions
Cut carrots, potatoes, and onion into large chunks of uniform size.
Simmer all ingredients in large stock pot until vegetables are tender.
Remove bay leaves.
Ladle hot mixture into food processor or blender, leaving some of the liquid behind in the stock pot (do not blend all of the liquid broth into the final soup or it will be too thin).
Blend mixture in a food processor or blender, in batches, until smooth and creamy with no lumps.
While blending, drizzle half and half into the soup until creamy (it doesn't take a lot).
Be careful not to burn yourself when transferring hot liquid.

This is truly an excellent recipe. We added garlic and some additional spices to boost the flavor a bit. My fiance is lactose intolerant so we left out the half and half. I added some to my bowl one night and honestly, I like it better without! A super comforting, yummy, perfect-for-fall soup! - 11/23/09
