Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 2 pieces carrots (about 16.1 ounces or 457 grams) Adds vibrant color and natural sweetness.
  • 2 pieces onions (about 9.3 ounces or 263 grams) Creates a flavorful base.
  • 1 piece potato (about 7.2 ounces or 203 grams) Lends a thick, satisfying texture.
  • 3 cloves garlic Brings a rich, savory flavor.
  • 1 cup water Used to initially cook the vegetables.
  • 2.5 cups chicken stock Enhances the flavor profile.
  • 1 teaspoon salt Enhances the flavors.
  • 1 teaspoon ground pepper Adds spiciness; adjust as needed.
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream Adds richness and a velvety texture.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Peel the carrots, onions, potato, and garlic.
Cooking
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, combine the water and chicken stock.
  2. Chop the carrots, onions, and potato into equal chunks. Add these pieces, along with the garlic, into the pot and simmer for approximately 40 minutes, or until vegetables are soft.
  3. Once the veggies are tender, season with salt and ground pepper.
Blending
  1. Turn off the heat and blend the soup until it reaches your desired consistency.
Serving
  1. Pour the finished soup into three cups, drizzle heavy cream in a spiral pattern, and create a spiderweb design using a skewer.

Notes

For a more intense flavor, roast the carrots and onions before adding them to the pot. Experiment with herbs like thyme or rosemary. You can add a handful of spinach for extra nutrition just before blending.
