Sopa De Cenoura - Carrot Soup - Portugal image

This recipe is submitted for play in ZWT8 - Spain/Portugal. It is a recipe by Ana Patuleia Ortins This is a truly wonderful dish that is easy to make and loaded with vitamin A. It is unique because a straight forward puréed soup that does not require other ingredients to give it additional texture is unusual in Portuguese cooking. When entertaining, I dress this soup up with a drizzle of heavy cream.

Time 1h40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, small, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup tomatoes, very ripe, peeled, seeded, coarsely chopped
1 garlic clove, left whole
1 lb carrot, peeled, coarsely chopped
1 sweet potato, medium, white, peeled, chopped into 1-inch pieces
1 cup turnip, yellow, peeled, roughly chopped (rutabaga)
4 cups water
1 tablespoon salt, coarse sea
1/8 teaspoon white pepper

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a 4-quart stock pot over medium-high heat. Add and sauté the onion until a light golden color, then stir in the tomato and garlic.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and continue cooking until the tomato is soft and partially dissolved, about 15 minutes.
  • Add in the carrots, sweet potato, and turnip, pour in the water, cover, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Reduce the heat and simmer until the vegetables are very tender, about 30 to 40 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and purée the soup (a hand-blender works well).
  • Stir in the remaining oil and season with salt and pepper. Bring the soup back to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 2 more minutes, then serve.
