Instructions
Prepare the vegetables
Chop the onion, peel and slice the carrots, and peel and dice the potatoes.
Pro tip: For a smoother soup, chop the vegetables into smaller pieces.
Sauté the onion
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until soft and translucent.
Pro tip: Avoid browning the onions to keep the soup's flavour delicate.
Cook the carrots and potatoes
Add the sliced carrots and diced potatoes to the pot. Pour in the broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Pro tip: Check the tenderness of vegetables with a fork.
Blend the soup
Remove the pot from heat. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, use a countertop blender, blending in batches if necessary.
Pro tip: Be cautious of hot splashes when blending.
Add cream and seasonings
Stir in the cream, salt, and pepper. Add fresh thyme if using. Return the pot to low heat and gently warm through.
Pro tip: Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving.
Serve
Ladle the soup into bowls. Optionally, garnish with extra thyme or a swirl of cream.
Pro tip: Serve with crusty bread for a complete meal.
