Ingredients

• water to cover
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
• ½ onion, sliced
• ½ teaspoon dried tarragon
• 4 cloves garlic, smashed
• 4 cups chopped carrots
• 3 cups fat-free chicken broth

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine carrots, chicken broth, and onion in a large pot. Pour enough water into the pot to assure the ingredients are covered; add garlic, thyme, and tarragon.

Step 2

Bring the liquid to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, place a cover on the pot, and simmer the mixture until the carrots are very tender, 40 to 50 minutes.

Step 3

Remove pot from heat and cool soup for 10 minutes. Puree soup with an immersion blender or mash vegetables with a potato masher and whisk the soup until smooth.

Step 4

Return pot to medium heat and cook until reheated, about 5 minutes. Stir cream through the soup.
