[Recipe] Cream of carrot soup

carrot soup

The cream of carrot soup recipe was adapted from celebrity Chef Ricardo’s website Ricardo cuisine, under the healthy section. The soup does not use cream or milk but has a velvety creamy texture. The soup uses only a handful of ingredients and can be on your table in less than an hour, which is amazing.

With the cold winter months, a comforting bowl of soup is what I want, especially a tasty and healthy soup that is easy to make.

This is the first time I have made a recipe from his website, and it won’t be the last. The site is well organized into recipe categories including appetizer, main, dessert and ingredients.

Ingredients

  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 tablespoons 30 ml butter
  • 5 cups 1.25 L chicken broth (mine was homemade)
  • 4 cups 1 L of carrots-peeled and diced (about 3 large carrots)
  • 1 cup 250 ml of potatoes-peeled and cubed (about 2 potatoes)
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, add the vegetable oil and butter over medium heat. Soften the onions, followed by the carrots and potatoes. Season with salt. This took about 15 minutes.

Feel free to top your soup with what you have available at home including parsley, coriander or crackers. I topped mine with a dollop of sour cream, leftover roasted chicken, and coriander.
