Carrot Dill Velvet Soup image

I found this recipe for a beautiful and tasty soup made with pureed carrots and fresh dill at allrecipes.com, and was so blown away by it's taste that I just HAD to post it here. Warm garlic bread makes the perfect accompaniment for this velvet-textured, heartwarming soup. Enjoy!
