Ingredients
- Butter
- 2 tablespoons
- Onion
- 1 medium, chopped
- Garlic
- 2 cloves, minced
- Carrots
- 1 pound, peeled and chopped
- Vegetable broth
- 4 cups
- Gouda cheese
- 1 cup, grated
- Heavy cream
- 1/2 cup
- Salt
- to taste
- Pepper
- to taste
- Fresh parsley
- for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chopped carrots and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer until the carrots are tender, about 20 minutes.
- Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until it reaches a smooth consistency. If you don't have an immersion blender, you can also use a regular blender. Just make sure to let the soup cool slightly before blending, and blend in batches if necessary.
- Return the pureed soup to the pot. Add the grated Gouda cheese and stir until it's fully melted and well incorporated.
- Stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preference.
- Let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- Serve the soup hot, garnishing each serving with a sprinkle of fresh parsley. Enjoy!
Tips
- For a vegan variation, substitute the butter for olive oil, the heavy cream for coconut cream, and the Gouda cheese for a plant-based cheese of your choice.
