Ingredients
-
4 cups peeled and chopped carrots
-
3 cups fat-free chicken broth
-
½ onion, sliced
-
water to cover
-
4 cloves garlic, smashed
-
1 teaspoon dried thyme
-
½ teaspoon dried tarragon
-
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
Directions
-
Combine carrots, chicken broth, and onion in a large pot. Pour enough water into the pot to assure the ingredients are covered; add garlic, thyme, and tarragon.
-
Bring the liquid to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, place a cover on the pot, and simmer the mixture until the carrots are very tender, 40 to 50 minutes.
-
Remove pot from heat; carefully puree soup with an immersion blender until smooth.
-
Return pot to medium heat and cook until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Stir cream through the soup.
Cook’s Note
You can also use a blender to puree the soup, or mash vegetables with a potato masher and whisk the soup until smooth. Let the mixture cool to lukewarm before blending.
