Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pounds carrots, peeled and chopped, about 8-10 large carrots
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon parsley, dried
- ½ teaspoon thyme, dried
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ½ cup heavy cream
Instructions
- In a large dutch oven or soup pot, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the carrots, onions and celery.
- Cook the veggies, stirring often, until the onions are translucent and the carrots have started to release their juices, about 10 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
- Stir in the chicken broth and seasonings.
- Bring the soup to a bubble, reduce heat to low, partially cover the pot and simmer the soup for 20-25 minutes until the carrots are soft and fork tender.
- Remove soup from heat and blend until smooth.

Notes
If the soup is too thick for your liking, add more chicken broth or water ¼ cup at a time, blending after each addition.
