Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 pounds of carrots, cut into large chunks. You can peel them or not – I usually don’t!
- 2 sweet onions, peeled and roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, or 1 teaspoon dried
- Sea salt and pepper
- Your choice of toppings – bacon, toasted nuts and sauteed bread crumbs are all wonderful!
Instructions
- Bring the chicken broth to a simmer in a large pot. Add carrots, onions and thyme and simmer until carrots are soft, about 15-20 minutes.
- Transfer to a blender and process until smooth – you will probably have to do this in batches, unless you have an immersion blender in which case you can do it right in the pot – if not, pour the soup from your blender back into the pot.
- Season to taste with sea salt and pepper, and if the soup is too thick for you, thin it with a little more chicken broth. Reheat over low heat until it is nice and hot.
- Ladle into bowls with your choice of toppings – and plain is wonderful too!
