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.

CREAM OF CARROT SOUP

This soup is super creamy in texture, but it contains very little actual cream. The butter and flour mixture -- what's called a roux -- gives it body and silkiness.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, diced small
1/4 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 pounds carrots, chopped
1/2 cup buttermilk
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium pot, melt butter over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 8 minutes.
  • Add flour and cook, stirring, until combined, 1 minute.
  • Whisking constantly, add broth and 1 cup water and bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat and simmer, whisking occasionally, 10 minutes.
  • Add carrots and bring to a simmer. Cook until carrots are very tender, 20 minutes.
  • Transfer mixture to a large bowl. In batches, fill a blender halfway with mixture and puree until smooth; to allow heat to escape, remove cap from hole in lid, cover lid with a dish towel, and hold down firmly while blending. Return soup to pot as pureed.
  • Add buttermilk and heat over medium until warmed through. Season with salt and pepper. Thin with broth or water, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: For the best flavor, use fresh, sweet carrots. Look for carrots that are firm and have a deep orange color.
  • Roast the carrots before simmering: Roasting the carrots before simmering them intensifies their flavor and gives the soup a richer color.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: The vegetable broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth that is flavorful and has a good balance of herbs and spices.
  • Don't overcook the soup: The soup should be simmered until the carrots are tender but still have a bit of a bite to them. Overcooking the soup will make the carrots mushy and the soup will lose its flavor.
  • Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
  • Garnish the soup before serving: A simple garnish of chopped fresh parsley or chives adds a pop of color and flavor to the soup.

Cream of carrot soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. With its simple ingredients and rich flavor, this soup is sure to become a family favorite.
