Essential Ingredients- 2 Carrots (medium-sized)
- 1 Potato (medium-sized)
- 1/2 Onion
- 2 cups Water (approx. 400ml)
- 1 1/2 cups Milk (approx. 300ml)
- 1 cup Heavy Cream (approx. 200ml)
- 1 Tbsp Butter
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thoroughly peel the carrots, potato, and onion. Cut them into bite-sized pieces so they cook down evenly and mash easily. Aim for a size that’s easy to eat; if they’re too small, they might burn or become mushy.
Step 2
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a pan over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add the chopped carrots, potato, and onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables release their sweet aroma. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to deepen the flavors.
Step 3
Once the vegetables become translucent and fragrant, pour in 2 cups of water. Cover the pan and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are very tender. You can test for doneness by piercing them with a fork; it should go in easily. After cooking, turn off the heat and let it cool slightly. Blending while it’s piping hot can be dangerous.
Step 4
Transfer the slightly cooled vegetables and their cooking liquid to a blender or use an immersion blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and velvety. The key is to achieve a fine, lump-free consistency.
Step 5
Pour the blended vegetable purée back into a pot. Gradually add 1.5 cups of milk and 1 cup of heavy cream while stirring. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking to the bottom. Simmer until the soup reaches your desired thickness. If it becomes too thick, you can add a little more milk.
Step 6
Finally, season with salt and pepper to your preference. Freshly ground pepper adds a wonderful aroma. Stir well, then ladle the warm soup into bowls. You’ll have a rich and creamy carrot soup! Enjoy it with bread or croutons for an even more satisfying meal.
