Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 1 medium onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 liter vegetable broth
- 120 milliliters low-fat milk
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and chop the carrots into small chunks. Chop the onion and mince the garlic.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the onions and garlic to the pot and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until they are soft and fragrant.
Stir in the ground cumin and cook for another 30 seconds to release its aroma.
Add the chopped carrots and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring everything to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the carrots are completely tender.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until creamy, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the low-fat milk and season with salt and black pepper. Heat gently for 2-3 minutes, but do not let the soup boil.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve warm and enjoy this healthy, comforting dish!
