I never would have tried this if Trader Joe's hadn't been giving it out as samples one day when I was shopping. I don't like carrots very much, and I thought this soup looked gross. I could not have been more wrong. This is without a doubt my favorite Trader Joe's soup. It just tastes wonderful. I eat it at least 3 times a week. It is also really good with a dollop of plain yogurt added to it.
