I've definitely never had a carrot soup, but it sounds so healthy and good that I just may give it a try. If for no other reason than the pretty color! This soup is so pretty.

It really brings out the flavor and mellows it somewhat. I'd love to try your beet and goat cheese salad, Adrianne! Paula... If you have really good fresh fennel, definitely eat it in a salad instead. Roasted fennel is fab! It really brings out the flavor and mellows it somewhat.

I wound up putting the leftovers in an omlette with some sausage for breakfast, and that was yummy! Also, the trick with beets is roasting them in a hot oven with olive oil, salt and pepper, and a little sugar. Cut them into wedges, not chips. They're really delicious and get all crispy. Next time you're home, I'll make you my roasted beet and goat cheese salad - I SWEAR you'll fall in love!
