CREAM OF CARROT SOUP



Cream of Carrot Soup image

Rich tasting, warm and comforting. I had a recipe I loved for this soup, but the original called for a lot more butter and 2 cups of heavy cream. I didn't really want to save this soup for special occasions only, so I attempted to reduce the fat & calories by reducing the butter and replacing the cream with evaporated milk - I have even tried evaporated skim milk with success (but it is better with whole evaporated milk). If I am serving this to guests, I use the half-n- half, but for just me I like it with the milk. I have never missed the cream in this.

CREAM OF CARROT SOUP

This soup is super creamy in texture, but it contains very little actual cream. The butter and flour mixture -- what's called a roux -- gives it body and silkiness.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, diced small
1/4 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 pounds carrots, chopped
1/2 cup buttermilk
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium pot, melt butter over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 8 minutes.
  • Add flour and cook, stirring, until combined, 1 minute.
  • Whisking constantly, add broth and 1 cup water and bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat and simmer, whisking occasionally, 10 minutes.
  • Add carrots and bring to a simmer. Cook until carrots are very tender, 20 minutes.
  • Transfer mixture to a large bowl. In batches, fill a blender halfway with mixture and puree until smooth; to allow heat to escape, remove cap from hole in lid, cover lid with a dish towel, and hold down firmly while blending. Return soup to pot as pureed.
  • Add buttermilk and heat over medium until warmed through. Season with salt and pepper. Thin with broth or water, if desired.

Provided by Esther Clark

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Starter

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1½ tbsp oil
1 onion, sliced
1 celery stick, sliced
3 garlic cloves, 2 crushed and 1 left whole
1 kg carrots, thinly sliced
1.5 litre hot veg or chicken stock
½ small bunch of thyme
2 thick slices sourdough
1 tbsp mixed seeds
1 tbsp chopped parsley
1½ tbsp double cream, plus extra to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large saucepan or casserole pot. Fry the onion and celery gently for 5 mins. Add the crushed garlic and cook for 1 min more. Tip in the carrots, stock and thyme, then season and bring to the boil. Lower to a simmer and cook, covered, for 25 mins until the carrots are softened.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Rub the whole garlic clove over both sides of the sourdough. Tear it into rough chunks and toss with the remaining oil, a good pinch of salt and the seeds. Spread out on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 mins until golden and crisp. Mix with the chopped parsley and set aside.
  • Remove the thyme from the pan and discard. Blitz the soup with a hand blender until smooth. Stir though the cream and season to taste. To serve, ladle the soup into four bowls, top with the croutons and drizzle over a little extra cream, if you like.

Tips:

  • Choose sweet, tender carrots: The best carrots for soup are those that are young and have a sweet flavor. Avoid carrots that are old or woody.
  • Roast the carrots before pureeing: Roasting the carrots intensifies their flavor and gives the soup a richer, more complex taste.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality 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 the soup will make the carrots mushy and the soup bland.
  • Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
  • Serve the soup with a variety of toppings: Cream of carrot soup is delicious served with a variety of toppings, such as croutons, shredded cheese, or chopped parsley.

Conclusion:

Cream of carrot soup is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner.
