Peel and chop the carrots. Also cook the onion and garlic and everything in salted water until a little softer than usual. Strain and drain briefly.
Put back in the pot and puree with the blender as desired, either very fine or with pieces. Then stir in the cream cheese, season with salt, pepper and nutmeg and bring to the boil again briefly.
Sprinkle with parsley and serve with potatoes and pan-fried foods.
