This carrot soup is pure comfort food and a favorite in our house on a chilly autumn evening. It's easy to customize — add cumin, curry powder, and nutmeg for Indian flair, or season with your favorite herbs.

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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Remove pot from heat; carefully puree soup with an immersion blender until smooth.

  4. 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.
