Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1 yellow onion chopped, medium
- 6 cups chicken broth low-sodium
- 5 carrot peeled and sliced, medium
- 3 russet potato peeled and sliced, medium
- 1 teaspoon herbes de provence
- 1 pinch thyme dried
- 1 bay leaf
- salt to taste, freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, freshly ground
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 8 fresh parsley for garnish, sprigs
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat until foaming. Sauté onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add chicken broth, carrots, potatoes, herbes de Provence, thyme, and bay leaf to the pot. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer until vegetables are tender, approximately 30 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the soup to a blender, filling only halfway to prevent overflow. Cover with a lid and a kitchen towel for safety, and blend starting with quick pulses, then continuously until smooth. Work in batches if necessary.
- Serve the pureed soup into bowls, drizzle with heavy cream, and garnish with a sprig of parsley.
