salt and white pepper

CARROT DILL SOUP



CARROT DILL SOUP image

Categories     Carrot     Dill     Soup/Stew

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound carrots, sliced
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 cup onion, chopped
3 1/2 cups chicken stock
3/4 cup 2% milk
2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped

Steps:

  • Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add carrots, and cook just until tender. Drain, and return the carrots to the pan. Set aside.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute onion and garlic until soft, about 5 minutes. Transfer the onion and garlic to the saucepan with the carrots, and pour in chicken stock. Turn heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 25 minutes to blend flavors.
  • Puree the carrot mixture in a food processor or blender, in small batches if necessary. Return to the saucepan, and stir in the milk, dill and chives. Cook just until heated through, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Use fresh, organic carrots for the best flavor. Look for carrots that are deep orange in color and have smooth, unblemished skin.
  • Roast the carrots before blending: Roasting the carrots brings out their natural sweetness and caramelizes them slightly, giving the soup a richer flavor.
  • Use a high-quality vegetable broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich, flavorful taste.
  • Don't overcook the soup: The carrots should be tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooking will make the soup mushy.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs add a pop of color and flavor to the soup. Dill is a classic choice, but you can also use parsley, cilantro, or chives.

Conclusion:

Carrot dill soup is a delicious, healthy, and versatile soup that can be enjoyed all year round. It's perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also a great way to use up leftover carrots. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this soup is a great option for even the most novice cooks.
