(Experiment 154) Cream of carrots

Ingredients

  • 6 cups of sliced carrots if those are store-bought I would recommend you peel them
  • 2 cups of potatoes cut into pieces
  • 1 onion cut in pieces no need to be fancy in the cutting
  • 2 chopped cloves of garlic
  • Chopped fresh ginger roughly the size of dice
  • Salt
  • 9 cups of vegetable broth or whatever broth you prefer
  • 1/4 cup of butter or so
  • Whatever herb you like but fresh chopped parsley really gives it a nice touch

Instructions

  • In a large pot, melt the butter and soften the onions for 2 minutes.
  • Drop the carrots, potatoes, garlic, ginger, and broth in the pot. Bring to boil.
  • Reduce heat, cover, and let it simmer for 20 mins
  • Let it cool down a little then use a hand mixer to blend everything together.
  • Taste and add salt to taste. I would not recommend not to add pepper at this stage, I find it gives an off-taste when reheated and prefers to crack some fresh pepper just before eating it.
  • Transfer leftover into a freezable container and throw in the freezer.
