CARROT SOUP WITH DILL PESTO
I pulled this from epicurious and modified it slightly. Works well to make it a day ahead just store the soup separate from the pesto. The pesto is also good on pasta and chicken.

Steps:
- Heat the butter and olive oil in a large, heavy soup pot over medium-low heat and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the carrots and 1/2 teaspoon salt, cover partially and cook for another 10 minutes, stirring often, until the vegetables are tender and fragrant. Add the rice, water or stock, salt (about 1 1/2 teaspoons), and sugar. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 30 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and the soup is fragrant.
- Blend the soup either with a hand blender, in batches in a blender (cover the top with a towel and hold it down to avoid hot splashes), or through a food mill fitted with the fine blade. The rice should no longer be recognizable (it thickens the soup). Return to the pot. Stir and taste. Adjust salt, add a generous amount of freshly ground pepper, and heat through. If the sweetness of the carrots needs a boost, add another pinch of sugar.
- Serve, garnishing each bowl with croutons and a sprinkle of herbs.

Tips:
- When choosing carrots for your soup, look for ones that are firm and brightly colored. Avoid carrots that are limp or have blemishes.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can make the dill pesto by hand. Simply chop the dill, garlic, and walnuts very finely and then stir them together with the olive oil and lemon juice.
- To make a vegan version of this soup, simply omit the butter and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
- This soup can be served hot or cold. If you're serving it cold, be sure to chill it for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Garnish the soup with fresh dill before serving for an extra pop of flavor.
