Add carrots and stir well to coat the carrot in the oil.
Add broth, then stir. Cover with a lid, adjust the heat so it is simmering energetically (about medium). Cook for 20 - 25 minutes until carrot is very soft.
Remove lid, turn the heat off. Use a stick blender to puree the carrot (or cool slightly and do in a blender).
Add cream, milk, salt and pepper to taste. Stir. Adjust thickness with milk (or water), if desired.
Ladle soup into bowls. Garnish with swirls of cream, bacon and parsley or thyme if desired. Serve with crusty bread.
