Time 1h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons butter
1 Spanish onion, chopped
6 cups reduced-fat chicken broth
5 carrots, peeled and sliced
3 small potatoes, peeled and sliced
1 teaspoon herbes de Provence
1 pinch dried thyme
1 bay leaf
salt and pepper to taste
ΒΌ cup heavy cream
8 sprigs parsley

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.

This soup is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. It's also very affordable and easy to make. I usually make a big batch and freeze it in individual containers so I can have it on hand for a quick and easy meal.

I found this soup to be too thick. I had to add more broth to thin it out. Other than that, it was a good soup. The flavors were well-balanced and the carrots and potatoes were cooked perfectly.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning. I added some salt, pepper, and garlic powder and it was much better. Overall, it was a good soup, but it could have been better with a few more spices.
