Time 1h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

9 medium-sized carrots
1 medium-sized yellow onion
3 stalks of celery
1 stick (4 ounces) of unsweetened butter
3/4 cup dried white beans, preferably little haricot beans
6 cups chicken or veal stock
1 cup milk or light cream

Steps:

  • Scrape the carrots, peel the onion and cut these vegetables and the celery into chunks.
  • Melt the butter in a good-sized stockpot and add the vegetables. Stir and heat in the butter until they are well coated. Add the beans and stir well.
  • Bring the stock to boil in a separate pan and add to the vegetables and beans. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for one hour or more.
  • Remove from heat, let cool slightly and pass the soup through a vegetable mill, or process, little by little, in a food processor until it is a desired consistency.
  • Return to the rinsed-out stockpot and bring to a slow boil. Add cream slowly.
  • Serve immediately, with a pat of butter in each soup plate.

This soup was a delicious and healthy way to warm up on a cold day. I loved the creamy texture and the subtle sweetness of the carrots. I also appreciated that it was relatively low in calories and fat.

I was a bit disappointed with this soup. I found it to be too sweet for my taste. I think it would have been better if I had used less carrots or added some more savory ingredients, like bacon or sausage.

I thought this soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it didn't really stand out to me. I think it could have used some more acid, like a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of white wine.

I thought this soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it didn't really wow me either. I found the flavor to be a bit bland and one-dimensional. I think it could have used some more spices or herbs to liven it up.

I've tried many carrot soup recipes over the years, but this one is by far my favorite. The addition of apples and leeks gives it a unique and delicious flavor that I just can't get enough of. I've made it several times already and it's always a hit
