creamy carrot soup

i based this recipe from the kosher palette.

3 tbsp olive oil
3-4 cloves minced garlic
1 diced onion
tamari
1 lb peeled/cut up carrots
6 c water
1/3c brown rice
1c soy milk

sautee garlic and onion in olive oil. add cut up carrots and continue to sautee. splash in some tamari. add 6c water and the brown rice.  simmer on low until carrots are tender and brown rice is cooked. use an immersion blender and blend ingredients until creamy. or transfer soup into the food processor a few cups at a time and do the same. when soup is blended, add 1c soy milk. i spiced it with salt, cumin, and italian seasoning.

i served this soup with whole wheat rotini and chicken pieces, all in one bowl. yum yum!

(meal was pareve until i added the chicken)
