Cream Of Carrot Soup Recipe

๐Ÿ•’ Total Time: 45 minutes

๐Ÿฅ„ Servings: 4

Ingredients:

Quantity Ingredient
1 Onion
1 Canola oil
2 cups Chicken stock
4 Carrots
1 Potato
1/2 tsp Dried thyme
3/4 cup Skim milk

Instructions:

  1. Saute Onions: In a 2-quart saucepan, saute the onions in the canola oil over medium heat until softened, which should take about 5 minutes. The onions will become translucent and fragrant as they cook.

  2. Add Stock and Vegetables: Next, add the chicken stock, peeled and chopped carrots, peeled and diced potato, and dried thyme to the saucepan with the sauteed onions. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

  3. Simmer: Allow the soup to simmer gently over medium-low heat until the carrots and potatoes are tender. This usually takes around 25 minutes. Keep an eye on the soup and stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and to prevent sticking.

  4. Puree: Once the vegetables are tender, it’s time to puree the soup to achieve a smooth and creamy texture. You can use either a food mill or a blender for this step. If using a blender, be sure to blend the soup in batches to prevent overflow and to achieve the desired consistency.

  5. Incorporate Milk: After pureeing the soup, return it to the saucepan if you used a blender. Stir in the skim milk until it’s fully incorporated into the soup. The milk adds a creamy richness to the soup without adding too much fat.

  6. Serve: Ladle the hot cream of carrot soup into bowls and serve immediately. You can garnish each serving with a sprig of fresh thyme or a drizzle of cream if desired. This soup pairs wonderfully with crusty bread or a simple salad for a complete meal.
