Instructions:
-
Boil the Carrots: Begin by bringing a large saucepan of water to a rolling boil.
-
Cook Carrots: Add the carrots to the boiling water and cook them just until they’re tender.
-
Drain and Set Aside: Drain the cooked carrots, then return them to the saucepan, setting them aside for later.
-
Saute Onions and Garlic: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, sautéing them until they’re soft and fragrant, which should take about 5 minutes.
-
Combine Ingredients: Transfer the sautéed onions and garlic to the saucepan with the cooked carrots. Pour in your choice of water, vegetable stock, or chicken stock.
-
Simmer: Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the saucepan, and allow the mixture to simmer for 25 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
-
Puree: Once the simmering is complete, it’s time to puree the carrot mixture. You can use a food processor or blender for this step, working in small batches if necessary to achieve a smooth consistency.
-
Incorporate Milk and Herbs: Return the pureed mixture to the saucepan. Stir in the milk, fresh dill, and chopped chives. Cook the soup just until it’s heated through.
