Description

We have to let our kids into the kitchen—we just have to. We have to let them explore, experiment, discover. This creamy carrot soup is just the ticket for a cool, autumn day. And it’s easy enough that the kids won’t blow up the kitchen in the process.

Ingredients

  • 8 whole Large Carrots, Peeled And Sliced
  • 1-½ cup Low Sodium Chicken Broth
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Pressed
  • 1 whole Lemon, Zested
  • 1-½ cup Half-and-half
  • Lemon Juice To Taste
  • ¼ teaspoons Nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoons Kosher Salt (or Regular Salt To Taste)
  • Ground Black Pepper To Taste
  • Fresh Herbs

Preparation

Simmer carrots with chicken broth, garlic, and lemon zest for 20 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat.

In a blender, blend carrots and broth until smooth. Add in half & half and juice of 1/2 lemon. Stir to combine. Add nutmeg, salt, and pepper to taste, checking seasoning as you go.

Pour back into pan and heat soup until just warm, then serve in bowls, garnished with basil.

Super delicious soup. I had a difficult time blending this with the immersion blender so I ended up putting it in a regular blender and that worked fine. I ran out of half-and-half and my only option was heavy cream, which gave this soup a very thick consistency. It almost could have worked as a “puree” type base/side to a meat dish, but we still ate it as a soup and it was very tasty! Maybe next time I’ll try it as a puree.

I really love this soup. The lemon and the nutmeg make the flavor really interesting and bright, plus it’s a breeze to make.
