Carrot Soup
Gluten & Dairy Free
Ingredients
- 8 cups Homemade Chicken Stock homemade is best, if not I would use Epicure Chicken Stock as it is GF
- 2 pounds Carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
- 1/4 cup Onion, chopped
- 2 Garlic Cloves, minced
- 2 Potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Basil, dried
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Pepper
Instructions
- Place carrots on a baking sheet and drizzle with a bit of oil. Then put the carrots in a 400 F degree oven for 40 minutes. Stir once half way through baking.
- Heat oil in a stock pot and add garlic and onion. Cook for one minute. Stir often. Add the potato and cook for 3-4 minutes.
- Add broth to the stock pot and bring to a boil. Then turn the heat to low, place the lid on the stock pot and simmer.
- Add the basil, carrots, salt and pepper to the stock pot. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Use a hand held emersion blender and blend the soup. It will look like creamed soup when you are done.
- Enjoy!
Notes
In the past, I have burnt myself with my blender, when the soup is hot. I've also cracked the glass. Now, I avoid using my blender for hot soup and I use the emersion hand blender instead. As long as you don't lift it out of the soup while you are blending, you won't get burnt! It works nicely. It gives the feeling of a cream soup even if you have not added any milk!
I like to serve mine with a piece of hearty bread or warm biscuits. If you take my online 7 week baking series of classes 'The Equipped GF Home Baker' , you will learn many helpful tips about GF baking.
