Creamy Carrot Soup

This is possibly my new favourite soup - a filling, creamy, totally yummy dish. Did I mention it's vegetarian? :-)
Creamy Carrot Soup with seeds sprinkled on top. 
Ingredients:
3 medium-sized potatoes
4 carrots
2 small onions or 1 big one
1 clove of garlic
250g reduced fat Mascarpone
1 spoonful of seeds (to sprinkle on top)

To taste:
Salt
Mint (either fresh or dried)
Oregano (either fresh or dried)
White pepper
Salt

Price Tag:
About £5 to £10, on the cheaper side though.

Instructions
  1. Cube the onion and chop the garlic into as-small-as-possible pieces.
  2. Fry in a spoonful of Olive oil and set aside. 
  3. Peel and cube the carrots and the potatoes. 
  4. Add the carrots and potatoes to a saucepan and cover well with water. 
  5. Bring to boil on moderate heat. 
  6. When the carrots and potatoes are soft (after about 15 minutes), pour out half of the water.
  7. Add onion and garlic and with a mixer staff, gently mash the vegetables.
  8. Season the mash to your taste. 
  9. Finally, add the Mascarpone and mix well. Check the taste. Add a bit of water if you think the soup is too thick.
  10. Pour to serving bowls and sprinkle seeds on top.
