Servings: 4

Ingredients

Butter (2 tablespoons)
Onion (1 medium, chopped)
Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
Carrots (4 large, peeled and chopped)
Vegetable broth (4 cups)
Heavy cream (1 cup)
Blue cheese (1 cup, crumbled)
Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Salt (to taste)
Black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the chopped carrots and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.
Using an immersion blender, carefully puree the soup until smooth. If using a regular blender, allow the soup to cool slightly before blending in batches.
Return the pureed soup to the pot and stir in the crumbled blue cheese and heavy cream. Cook over low heat until the cheese is melted and the soup is heated through, about 5 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
