Bunny Soup! (No bunnies harmed)

Today Andy and I had a pretty big lunch, so soup was the perfect idea for dinner. AND I had a ginormous bunch of carrots, so carrot soup it was tonight! Really super easy to make and it was quite delicious! Here is the recipe, in case you would like to enjoy for yourself - this would even make an excellent starter to a bigger meal. Ours was served with fresh baked bread, which makes sense...to a Portuguese girl! :)

Morrocan Carrot Soup
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup chopped white onion
1 pound large carrots, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 1/2 cups vegetable broth
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon cumin
salt and pepper
Melt butter in large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion; saute 2 minutes. Mix in carrots. Add broth; bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until carrots are very tender, about 20 minutes.
Remove soup from heat. Puree in blender until smooth. Return to same pan. Whisk in honey, lemon juice, and allspice. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with cumin.
