I am a HUGE fan of soup – I always have been 🙂 It does not help that it has been chilly here in Phoenix the past couple of weeks – it really has put soup on my brain. Now this is one soup that is amazing for any meal. It is a nice subtle soup – “It tastes like carrots.” – this is a quote from Mr.Savvy when he tasted the soup for the first time…

What you need: Somehow I deleted the photo of all the ingredients 🙁 ( this is the first of two recipes I did this to).

  • 2 pounds Baby Carrots
  • 1 quart Vegetable Stock Or Chicken Stock
  • 2 sprigs Fresh Thyme
  • 1/4 cup Honey
  • 3/4 cup Heavy Cream
  • Dash Of Salt
  • 1 teaspoon of Pepper
  • 2 tablespoons of butter

What to do:

Place butter in a large pan on medium heat and add carrots ( make sure to pat down those carrots with a paper towel – we want to get rid of as much moisture as possible).

Now let those carrots – ROAST ROAST ROAST!

This takes about 15 minutes 🙂

Next place carrots in a stockpot of the salt and stock – heat to a boil then let simmer for 20 minutes. Make sure to place thyme on top.

Either use an immersion blender or normal blender – and start blending 🙂

Add Honey and Pepper – then mix

then add cream – then mix

Seriously how easy was that!

and Enjoy!!!

I added some nice toasted french loaf slices for dipping. Mr.Savvy added cheddar cheese to his soup and said it was good – so both are options 🙂
