My own carrot soup!

So maybe a year ago, maybe longer, I decided to absolutely keep linking to the sources of the recipes (copyright, etc), but also to copy the actual recipe in here, just in case that website ever took it down. And this is why: I cannot for anything find the carrot soup recipe I loved.
I never printed it, that I can tell, so that added to my frustration.
In my notes I said to half the butter, but not one recipe I found used any butter and in fact only used very small quantities of any oil at all!
And most of these had savory spices, or lemon, and mine had sweeter spices....
This meant I had to get creative and make my own recipe up, off memory and based upon the ones I found online. So here's what I did....

2 tbsp coconut oil
1 onion, chopped
2 lbs carrots, peeled and chopped
3 small russet potatoes, peeled and chopped
2 tbsp fresh ginger root
1 tbsp minced garlic
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup water
plenty of freshly ground black pepper
dash of salt
1 tsp nutmeg

Saute the onion in the coconut oil (on the stove top) til soft and translucent.
Put the onion and all other ingredients into the crock pot, cooked on high for 2.5 hours.
Puree with a stick blender, and serve!
*we did add salt to taste, after it was pureed, to brighten the flavors. And one or two of us added some shredded parmesan to the bowl.

It was a hit! Everyone enjoyed it, and one of the kids even had more later!! Trust me- that tells you it was good!
