Servings: 4

Ingredients

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

Instructions

In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook until the onion is translucent and fragrant, 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 15-20 minutes, or until the carrots are fork-tender.
Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, carefully puree the soup until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency.
Return the pureed soup to the pot and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 5 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and the soup is heated through.
Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
