Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, chopped yellow onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 6 large, peeled and chopped carrots
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 medium, peeled and diced potato
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped yellow onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped carrots, diced potato, vegetable broth, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the soup simmer for 20 minutes, or until the carrots and potato are tender.
Remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can carefully blend the soup in batches using a countertop blender.
Return the pot to low heat, stir in the heavy cream, chopped fresh dill, and lemon juice. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Simmer the soup for 5 minutes to let the flavors meld together, stirring occasionally.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with a sprig of fresh dill or a drizzle of cream, if desired. Serve hot.
