Creamy Carrot and Tarragon Soup

Indulge in this velvety, vibrant and aromatic Creamy Carrot and Tarragon Soup, a perfect way to embrace the fall season. Steeped in French cooking traditions, this soup combines the earthy sweetness of carrots with the anise-like flavor of tarragon, resulting in a delightful taste sensation that's perfect for a light lunch or a dinner starter.

Serves 4

Ingredients

Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Salt and pepper
to taste
Heavy cream
1/2 cup
Fresh tarragon
2 tablespoons, chopped, plus extra for garnish
Vegetable broth
4 cups
Garlic
2 cloves, minced
Onion
1 medium, chopped
Carrots
1 pound, peeled and chopped

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the chopped carrots and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Lower the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.
  5. Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly.
  6. Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, puree the soup until it reaches a smooth consistency. If using a regular blender, be sure to do this in batches and be careful as the soup will be hot.
  7. Return the soup to the pot. Stir in the chopped tarragon and heavy cream, mixing well.
  8. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes for the flavors to meld together.
  10. Serve hot, garnished with additional chopped tarragon if desired.

Tips

  • 💡 You can replace the heavy cream with coconut milk for a vegan version.
  • 💡 For a thicker texture, you can add a potato during the simmering process.
  • 💡 If you don't have an immersion blender, a regular blender will work just fine. Just be sure to blend the soup in batches.
