How to Make Best Carrot Soup
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 medium chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes, until softened.
- Add 1 pound chopped carrots (about 4 cups) and 1 medium chopped potato (about 1 cup).
- Stir to coat the vegetables evenly with the butter.
- Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth, 1 cup of water, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of dried tarragon, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the carrots and potatoes are tender.
- Carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth.
- Pour the blended soup back into the pot.
- Stir in 1 cup of milk (or cream for extra richness).
- Heat through gently. Do not boil. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
