Caramelized onions and chicken stock add depth of flavor to this soup without overwhelming the delicate taste of the carrots. Serve chilled or at room temperature for a simple, satisfying starter.
Ingredients
- 1 yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 quart (32 ounces) chicken stock
- 2 bunches baby carrots, medium-diced (reserve greens for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ cup cream
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Cracked black pepper, to taste
- ½ cup yogurt, for garnish
Preparation
Preheat a medium pot over medium heat.
Slice onions 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. 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, then serve garnished with a dollop of yogurt and a sprig of carrot greens.
