I made this soup to great result - it was, quite honestly, the best soup I'd eaten to that point. I know for a fact I did not core the carrots, but I did use smaller ones, which may have had a similar effect. I didn't put as butter in, either, simply because I wasn't in the mood for something quite so rich that night. I did notice that the carrots cooked very well indeed - I was afraid some had burnt, but when I added the juice and a blended it, it wasn't anything to worry about. One thing I have noticed, Frank, is that you really do need to be careful when it comes to substitutions and such in recipes like this. It may seem like you aren't changing much, but as you quickly discover, changing one small thing can have a great effect.
