Creamy potato and carrot soup infused with thyme and French herbs, finished with a dollop of cream and fresh parsley.
Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 Spanish onion, chopped
  • 6 cups reduced-fat chicken broth
  • 5 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 3 small potatoes, peeled and sliced
  • 1 teaspoon herbes de Provence
  • 1 pinch dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 0.25 cup heavy cream
  • 8 sprigs parsley
Instructions:
  • In a large pot, melt butter over low heat until foamy. Add onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in chicken broth, carrots, potatoes, herbes de Provence, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Increase heat to medium-high, bring to a boil, then reduce to low and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Transfer the soup to a blender, filling it only halfway. Secure the blender lid with a folded kitchen towel and pulse a few times before blending continuously until smooth. Divide the pureed soup into eight bowls, then swirl each with 1/2 tablespoon of heavy cream and top with a sprig of parsley for garnish.
