Main Ingredients for Preparing Carrot Soup with Cream:

 

• 1 tablespoon of butter
• 4 large carrots, chopped into small cubes
• 5 cups of chicken broth or vegetable broth (depending on preference)
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• ¼ teaspoon of ground black pepper

For the Cream:

• 1 cup of cream
• 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
• ¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon

For Garnish:

• 4 sprigs of fresh mint, finely chopped

How to Prepare Carrot Soup with Cream:

1. Sauté the Carrots:

   • In a large, deep pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the carrot cubes and sauté them, stirring constantly with a wide wooden spoon, until they turn light golden.

2. Cook the Carrots:

   • Add the chicken or vegetable broth to the pot, followed by the salt and ground black pepper. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
   • Cover the pot with a lid, lower the heat, and let the carrots simmer for about 20 minutes until fully cooked and tender.

3. Blend the Soup:

   • Once the carrots are soft, transfer the mixture to a blender. Blend on medium speed for a few seconds until you have a smooth and creamy carrot soup.
   • Return the blended soup to the pot and heat over low heat while preparing the cream.

4. Prepare the Cream:

   • In a blender, combine the cream, cornstarch, and ground cinnamon. Blend on medium speed for 60 seconds until the mixture becomes smooth.

5. Add the Cream:

   • Pour the prepared cream into the pot with the carrot soup, stirring continuously for 5 minutes to ensure the cream is fully incorporated and the soup thickens slightly.

6. Serve:

   • Ladle the soup into individual serving bowls and sprinkle a little finely chopped mint on top of each bowl. Serve hot.

And that’s it! A comforting and creamy carrot soup, perfect for chilly days. We hope you enjoy this delicious recipe!
