Guideposts Magazine had this recipe - looks good for us!

Carol's Carrot & Dill Soup
1 lb carrots (2-1/2 c)
1 medium onion (I eliminate this - onion is a trigger for my IC)
2c water
2c low fat chicken broth
1tsp salt
1/2 tsp fennel seeds (I didn't have this, so I left it out)
1 bunch fresh dill- about 2 T (I used 1/2T dried)

Peel carrots & cut into 1/2" coins. Peel & chop onion. Bring carrots, onion, water, broth, salt & fennel seeds to a boil. Lower heat & simmer, covered, for 30-40 min. til carrots are very tender.
While carrots are cooking, rinse & chop dill, reserving several sprigs for garnish. Add dill to cooked carrots &, using great care, puree in 2 batches in a blender. If you plan to serve the soup cold, let it cool in the pan first. Garnish with fresh dill.

Here's another one.

BROCCOLI-POTATO SOUP
2 cans of Chicken Broth (no MSG) or make your own chicken broth (I do this in the crockpot)
1 big head of chopped broccoli
1 large potato, peeled & diced.
a dash of dried oregano & a dash of garlic powder

Bring it all to a boil, turn it down to simmer (I used med/lo on my stove) for 35 min.
Put it in the blender & it turns creamy. Be sure to use a potholder or towel to hold the blender lid on or you risk turning your ceiling green! (And the counter, walls, floor, cat... Don't ask.)
