Got Carrots??

Last updated on August 17, 2018

It’s mid Spring…mid Spring guys and it was damp and cloudy with some drizzle and in the 50s allllll day…until like 5pm lol.

I wanted soup to warm up my bones, but wanted something different than the normal soups I make. I remembered my mom would make carrot soup when we had a bunch of carrots to get rid of. I would eat it back then but it wasn’t my favorite.

So, I decided to fix it up my way! (No offense mom)

Ingredients I used:

1 large onion chopped

2 celery stalks chopped

1 clove of garlic chopped

5 or 6 carrots chopped

1 tbs. Of butter

1 tbs. Olive oil

1 1/2 cups of water

4 cups of vegetable broth

1 tbs. Thyme or any spices you choose

salt and pepper

I used my cast iron dutch oven for this, this is basically the only pot I use now to cook with because it’s just amazing no matter what your recipe. You can find the one I have here: https://amzn.to/2nKzexV

Heat the oil and butter until the butter is melted.

Toss in the onion, celery and garlic and cook for about 5 minutes.

Add the thyme and carrots and cook just a couple of minutes.

Add the vegetable broth and water..bring to a boil and then simmer 25-35 minutes.

Once the carrots are tender I use my KitchenAid hand blender https://amzn.to/2wdsbl1 so I can blend it right in the pot. I received this as a bridal shower gift and honestly I’m totally in love with it after just one use. If you don’t have a hand blender no worries at all, you can mix it in batches in your regular blender.
