Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 Spanish onion, chopped
6 cups reduced-fat chicken broth
5 carrots, peeled and sliced
3 small potatoes, peeled and sliced
1 teaspoon herbes de Provence
1 pinch dried thyme
1 bay leaf
salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup heavy cream

Steps:

Melt the butter in a large pot over low heat. When the butter begins to foam, add the onion; cook until the onion begins to turn translucent, 3 to 4 minutes.

Raise heat to medium-high and bring to a boil; reduce heat again to low and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.
Pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway.

Divide into eight soup bowls; garnish each portion with about 1/2 tablespoon heavy cream and a sprig of parsley.

CREAM OF CARROT SOUP

Cream of Carrot Soup image

Rich tasting, warm and comforting. I had a recipe I loved for this soup, but the original called for a lot more butter and 2 cups of heavy cream. I didn't really want to save this soup for special occasions only, so I attempted to reduce the fat & calories by reducing the butter and replacing the cream with evaporated milk - I have even tried evaporated skim milk with success (but it is better with whole evaporated milk). If I am serving this to guests, I use the half-n- half, but for just me I like it with the milk. I have never missed the cream in this.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 cup onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
4 1/2 cups carrots, peeled,thinly sliced
1 large potato, peeld,cubed
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans 98% fat free chicken broth or 2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans vegetable broth
1 teaspoon ground ginger powder
2 cups evaporated milk or 2 cups half-and-half cream
1 teaspoon crushed dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste
1/8 teaspoon black pepper, to taste

Steps:

In a large stockpot, melt butter and saute onion until soft and tender, about 5 minutes or so.
Add carrots, potatoes, chicken broth, and ginger powder.
Cover and cook on medium heat 30 minutes or until veggies are very tender.
Remove from heat and let cool 15 minutes.
Using a stick blender, puree the soup right in the pot (or pour some into a blender and puree- you'll have to do this in batches though).
Return to heat and add milk, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Cook over low heat until heated through, maybe 5 minutes or so.

Tips:

Choose the right carrots: Look for carrots that are firm, smooth, and have a deep orange color. Avoid carrots that are limp, cracked, or have green shoulders.
Peel the carrots thinly: This will help the carrots cook evenly and prevent them from becoming stringy.
Cut the carrots into small pieces: This will also help them cook evenly and quickly.
Use a good quality vegetable broth: This will add flavor and depth to the soup. If you don't have vegetable broth, you can use water, but be sure to add some salt and pepper to taste.
Don't overcook the soup: The carrots should be tender, but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooked carrots will become mushy and lose their flavor.
Garnish the soup with fresh herbs: This will add a pop of color and flavor. Good options include parsley, cilantro, or chives.

Conclusion:

Carrot soup is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. With its creamy texture and sweet flavor, it's a soup that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a simple and satisfying soup, give this carrot soup recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
