Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Carrot Soup.
Step 1
Start by grabbing a large pot and tossing in your chopped carrots, savory chicken broth, and sliced onion.
Step 2
Pour in just enough water to cover all those vibrant ingredients, then add in the smashed garlic, dried thyme, and fragrant dried tarragon for that extra burst of flavor.
Step 3
Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring everything to a lively boil.
Step 4
Once it’s bubbling away, lower the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for about 40 to 50 minutes, or until the carrots are wonderfully tender and ready to shine.
Step 5
After the simmering magic, take the pot off the heat and carefully use an immersion blender to puree the soup until it’s silky smooth.
Step 6
Return the pot to medium heat and warm the soup for about five minutes, stirring in the rich heavy whipping cream until it’s beautifully blended.
Step 7
Enjoy the comforting aroma as your kitchen fills with the delightful scent of homemade soup, perfect for cozy evenings or sharing with loved ones.
