Cream of Carrot Soup With Ginger and Rosemary image

I don't remember where I got this recipe from but it is one of my favorite "entertaining" soup recipes. When we have guests for dinner I always include a soup as a starter, and this one is always a hit with its delicate flavor and smooth consistency. My children always enjoyed this soup as well.
