Steps:
- Melt the butter in a large pot over low heat. When the butter begins to foam, add the onion; cook until the onion begins to turn translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chicken broth, carrots, potatoes, herbes de Provence, thyme, and bay leaf; season with salt and pepper. Raise heat to medium-high and bring to a boil; reduce heat again to low and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.
- Pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway. Securing the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, start to blend using a few quick pulses before allowing to blend continually; puree in batches until smooth. Divide into eight soup bowls; garnish each portion with about 1/2 tablespoon heavy cream and a sprig of parsley.

DYLAN'S POTATO, CARROT, AND CHEDDAR SOUP
My daughter Dylan (age 5) is the light of my life. She is smart, funny, and very creative. I try to encourage her as much as I can. Last week, Dylan told me she had an idea for soup. She wanted to make a soup with carrots, potatoes, cheese, and a little parsley. We had the good fortune to be at Seattle's Pike Place Market over the weekend and bought all the yummy ingredients fresh. The soup was absolutely delicious so I just had to share! Here's her recipe. Of course you can use fresh onion, fresh garlic, etc. However, I really wanted to stay true to my daughter's vision. The soup was wonderful, so I'm glad that I resisted the temptation to add a few things here and there. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a pot over medium heat; cook and stir the potatoes and carrots in the hot oil until hot, about 10 minutes. Season with salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Pour the chicken broth over the mixture; continue cooking until the potatoes and carrots are soft, 10 to 15 minutes more.
- Pour about half of the potato-and-carrot mixture into a blender. Hold the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Return the pureed soup to the pot. Stir the Cheddar cheese into the soup until melted. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with parsley to serve.

Steps:
- Peel and chop potatoes into large cubes
- Finely chop onion and celery if using
- Discard the green part of the leek (or save for making stock another time) and finely dice the white part
- Dice the carrots into small pieces about 1cm each
- Add the butter/oil to a large pot and allow to melt
- Add in the onion, leek, and celery if using and cook for 5 minutes, allowing them to "sweat" but not brown.
- Put the carrots and potato in the pot and cover with the stock
- Add a dash of salt and white pepper
- Bring to the boil, skimming off any sort of foam/scum with a wooden spoon to get rid of as it does so. This is just the protein releasing from the vegetables but it's nicer if you remove it rather than stir in later.
- Turn down to a simmer for 1 hour
- Use a masher or wooden spoon to break up some of the potatoes, but leave some large chunks as well
- Season more to taste and serve!

Steps:
- Peel and cube the potatoes and carrots. I used the red washed potatoes so didn't peel them, this is up to you
- Place the cubed vegetables in a pressure cooker or heavy-bottomed cooking vessel with a lid
- Add 1 tbsp butter and enough water to submerge the vegetables
- If using a pressure cooker, close the cooker and let it cook for 3 whistles or 15-20 minutes
- Let the pressure release
- If using a regular cooking vessel, cover and cook on low flame until the carrots and potatoes are completely tender
- In the meantime, grind the coriander leaves coarsely using a pestle and mortar or small blender
- Once the vegetables are done, if you have a stick blender, blend the vegetables while they are still hot into a soft mush. You can leave some small chunks of vegetables as is if you'd like some texture in the soup
- If using a regular blender, wait until the vegetables are cool before blending
- In a separate pan, heat 1 tsp butter and add the coriander leaves paste
- Cook for ten seconds until fragrant and then add the pureed vegetable mix
- Add water and adjust to your desired consistency
- Bring to boil and add salt, sugar, and freshly cracked black pepper
- There's no need to boil the soup for too long
- Serve hot garnished with chopped coriander leaves and more black pepper
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or russet potatoes are best for this soup as they break down easily and create a creamy texture.
- Use fresh carrots: Fresh carrots will give the soup a sweeter flavor than pre-packaged or frozen carrots.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: If you're using a small pot, cook the vegetables in batches to avoid overcrowding and ensure they cook evenly.
- Don't boil the soup: Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Boiling the soup will make it cloudy and less flavorful.
- Season to taste: Taste the soup before serving and add more salt, pepper, or herbs as desired.
