Creamy soup without the cream is totally my kind of thing! Bookmarked!
I love creamless soups, and actually prefer soups without the heavy cream, as you can taste the actual soup! If a soup has great fresh ingredients then you don't need to mask it with the cream, right? This soup looks great and I'm totally bookmarking it for those cozy winter nights! xoxo, Jackie
Perfect for a nice cool day – I would eat this truly anytime of the year. YUM
Liz and Anna!

Oh, my! This sounds sooo good!
Interesting. Long time ago I made black beans and carrots puree/mash. It wasn't too bad. The creamy version would be quite nice I guess.
Perfect – I'm screaming for this!Mary
