When life gives you carrots no one wants to eat, make creamy carrot soup. This is a one-pot meal that is quick and healthy. Make a vegan version by simply not adding the milk at the end; it will still be creamy because of the potatoes.
The What:
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 potatoes, peeled & sliced
- 6 carrots, peeled & roughly chopped
- 3 garlic cloves
- 7 cups water
- 3 bay leafs
- salt & pepper
- 1/4 cup milk
The How:
Place a large pot on medium high heat, add the vegetable oil and onion slices with a pinch of salt.
Fry onions until golden brown, this should take about 10 minutes.
Once the onions are a nice shade of brown, add the potato slices, another pinch of salt and fry for 2 minutes.
Add the carrots, garlic cloves, water, and bay leafs.
Cover and boil for 20 minutes, you should be able to pierce the potatoes easily with the tip of a knife after 20 minutes.
Remove the bay leafs and discard.
Place the soup in a blender and blend until smooth.
Return the soup to the pot, add the milk and bring to a boil. Check the salt levels and enjoy.
