This creamy carrot and potato soup gets a "triple yum rating" from a BH&G fan who whipped it up at home. A topping of fried sage leaves, crispy bacon pieces, and blue cheese are probably the triggers for those three "yums," although the rich texture and the speedy 40-minute cook time surely don't hurt.
