The Carrot Soup Dreams Are Made Of

Simmered carrots in homemade chicken stock with a bit of red onion, a touch of thyme and rosemary, salt and pepper. Blend it up (any blender will do but a blendtec, vitamix, or other high end blender will take this from amazing to other worldly levels of impossible creamy smoothness, that there are no words, simply no words). When super smoooooth, serve hot and if desired, and I recommend it, add a dab of cream and mix it in, or milk if you only want to be half fabulous, but the dairy is totally optional. Another bonus is a small bit of thinly shredded cheddar cheese sprinkled over top and oh, why not? a generous sprinkling of paprika finishes it off nicely.

I just made this for my husband's lunch. He works third shift, from home, and I am off to bed in a minute. Anyway I had to take a little bite. I am so jealous of him, but I know what I am having for lunch tomorrow hehehe.

    Me too. The carrots we grew were crap. Last time trying to grow them. I'm leaving it to the experts from now on ;)

    Oh definitely! I did top it with regular paprika but smoked paprika would have also been perfect. This soup is basically a blank slate. Season in any way you desire. That was just the way I did it last night, and YUM It was calling to me! I wanted to get some tortilla chips and dip them as though it was a cheese sauce. SO DECADENT!

    I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't. I mean, it won't be EXACTLY what I made, which is out of this world! haha but it will still be an amazing soup! DO IT!
