I found this recipe for a beautiful and tasty soup made with pureed carrots and fresh dill , and was so blown away by it's taste that I just HAD to post it here. Warm garlic bread makes the perfect accompaniment for this velvet-textured, heartwarming soup. Enjoy! Ingredients:
1 lb carrot, sliced |
2 teaspoons vegetable oil |
2 teaspoons minced garlic |
1 cup chopped onion |
3 1/2 cups water or 3 1/2 cups vegetable stock or 3 1/2 cups chicken stock |
3/4 cup milk |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill or 2 teaspoons dried dill |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or 2 teaspoons dried chives |
salt (optional) |
Directions:
1. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil.
2. Add carrots, and cook just until tender.
3. Drain, return the carrots to the pan and Set aside.
4. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
5. Saute onion and garlic until soft, about 5 minutes.
6. Transfer the onion and garlic to the saucepan with the carrots, and pour in water/vegetable stock/chicken stock.
7. Turn heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 25 minutes to blend flavors.
8. Puree the carrot mixture in a food processor or blender, in small batches if necessary.
9. Return to the saucepan, and stir in the milk, dill and chives.
