Mussel and Carrot Soup
Gah Yan Tsui writes, via gourmet.com: "I recently enjoyed a delicious lunch at Aquavit in New York City. Marcus Samuelsson makes an incredible mussel and carrot soup. Would it be possible to acquire the recipe?"
This soup tastes much better when made with fresh carrot juice. If you don't have a juicer, you can get some at your nearest natural foods store.
