  delicious! but 2.5l of stock was WAY too much to make a thick soup, used 100-50ml.

  Really quick & easy to make which left the whole family licking their lips! I would reduce the stock added to 2 litres next time as I prefer a thicker soup.

  Tasty soup but expected a bit more of the honey to come through in the taste as it's called Honeyed Carrot soup. Should be named Carrot & Leek soup which would give a better idea of the flavour! Enjoyed it none-the-less and served with bacon butties made a tasty meal.

  Used 2 small onions instead of leeks and 1.25l of stock, which gave the perfect consistency. Too heavy handed with the chilli flakes, though - but it did clear my blocked nose!!

  Have been making this soup since it was first published and still love it. Made it this week for dinner guests and they raved about it. Such a heart warming soup and with the pinch of chilli it adds a little kick against the sweetness of the honey. Always a winner!

  I halved the ingredients to make soup for two people and used less stock than the recipe said (about a litre in total). Overall it was a beautiful rich soup. We had it with petit pain but it would undoubtedly be better with something salty, like cheese or bacon, to compliment the sweetness in the soup.

  This recipe was a great success, even though I thought the two tsp of honey would not make a difference, it really did. The leeks probably gave it a little kick of a flavour in addition to the 800 gr of carrot flavour. A great hit, I did it with two and half litres of stock and the consistency was a little liquidy but it was good like that. My son ate four bowls, so I'll be making it regularly from no on.

  Lovely! My girls really liked it, and i did put a litlle chilli in. For those that thought that there was too much stock, did you weigh your carrots before you peeled them, I weighed mine after, and did need 2L of stock - had about 600g of peeled carrots.

  I found this practically tasteless. I added an extra tsp of honey, with no effect, added a touch more chilli, and also half a tsp of smoked paprika, which livened it up a bit. I wouldn't bother making it again.

  Gorgeous, used onions instead of leeks as I have tons to use from the garden! Made a big batch and froze it in individual portions.

  A Big hit in our house my partner made this for me as i was ill with a flu bug and not in the mood to eat anything. This pan of soup lasted a day was soooo comforting and delicious the carrot & honey go together perfect, my partner didnt think it would be that great with so few ingredients but he is also raving about how good it tastes wouldnt change a thing about it :)
