Time 1h25m

Yield 3/4 cup, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon canola oil
2 lbs carrots, peeled and sliced into 1-inch pieces
2 medium onions, chopped
2 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
8 cups reduced-sodium fat-free chicken broth
1 cinnamon stick
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt (optional)
1/4 cup chopped pistachios (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large 8-quart soup pot over medium heat. Add the carrots, onions, and potatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but not brown, about 25-30 minutes.
  • Add broth, cinnamon stick, bay leaf, and thyme. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 45 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and cinnamon stick.
  • In a blender or food processor, puree the carrot mixture in batches. Return to the pot and warm over low heat. Add the nutmeg and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Optional: Swirl in the yogurt and top with pistachios just before serving.

This soup is a winner! It's healthy, delicious, and so easy to make. I love that it's a lightened-up version of classic cream of carrot soup, but it still has all the flavor.

I've tried many carrot soup recipes, but this one is hands down the best. The addition of light cream gives it a velvety texture and richness without being too heavy. Highly recommend!
