Caramelized onions and chicken stock add deep flavor to this simple soup without overwhelming the delicate carrots. Serve chilled or at room temperature for a great springtime starter.
Ingredients
- 1 organic yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 32 ounces organic chicken stock
- 2 bunches organic baby carrots, medium diced
- 1 teaspoon organic ground ginger
- ½ cup organic cream
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Cracked black pepper, to taste
- ½ cup organic yogurt, for garnish
Preparation
Preheat a medium pot over medium heat.
Slice onions radially as thin as possible. Cook onions in olive oil, stirring frequently until they begin to caramelize, 5–8 minutes. When onions start to brown and smell sweet, add chicken stock and bring to a boil.
Turn down the heat and add carrots and ginger. Allow to simmer for 12–15 minutes, until the carrots are cooked through.
Puree soup with an immersion blender while slowly adding the cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper and garnish with a dollop of yogurt.
