The first thing to think about at any celebration is food, so I'm giving you my uncle's recipe for amazing carrot soup. And stay tuned at the end - I'll show you how you can personalize the soup to your own tastes.
Carrot Soup
9 medium carrots (organic are best)
5 medium potatoes
1-2 leeks, the white bulb portion only
1 box organic chicken stock
Peel carrots and cut up into inch long pieces. Peel the potatoes and cut into smal cubes. Slice leek into 1/4" slices.
In a saucepan, melt 1 oz butter. Soften leek in butter for 5 minutes.
Add the other vegetables and let simmer.
Add chicken stock. Bring to boil.
Turn down simmer for about 30 - 40 minutes, until carrots and potatoes are soft.
Using an immersion blender, puree soup.

This looks amazing. I think I would have to add the bacon though. I mean, everything is better with a little bacon right? :)
