Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 Tbsp butter
1 1/2 c spanish onions, chopped
4 c carrots, peeled, ends cut off and thinly sliced
3 c leftover mashed potatoes
6 c low-sodium chicken broth
1 tsp herbes de provence
1 tsp dried rosemary
1/4 tsp hot paprika
1/8 tsp dried thyme
1/8 tsp white pepper, or more to taste
1 large bay leaf
4 Tbsp 35% heavy cream (optional)
chopped parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. In a large pot over medium-high heat, add butter. When it starts foaming, add onions and stir just enough to coat them with butter. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 3 minutes
  • 2. Add carrots, stir well, cover, increase the heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes. A couple minutes later, quickly stir well.
  • 3. Add leftover mashed potatoes, combine them with the ingredients before pouring in the chicken broth. Add Herbes de Provence, rosemary, paprika, thyme and white pepper; stir well. Add bay leaf and bring the mixture to a boil, whisking often. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • 4. When time is up, turn off the heat and let the mixture rest for 5 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and discard it. Using an immersion blender, process until the soup is smooth with no lumps in it; taste and adjust if necessary.

This soup was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would use less carrots next time. Otherwise, it was a good soup and very easy to make.

This soup was very easy to make and it turned out great! I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and it was still very flavorful. I also added a bit of chopped fresh parsley at the end for a pop of color.

This soup was delicious and easy to make. I used Yukon Gold potatoes and they mashed up really smoothly. The soup was a beautiful orange color and had a great flavor. I served it with a dollop of sour cream and some chopped chives.
