Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter salted
- 1 large onion
- 4 small potato peeled
- 2 lbs carrot peeled, I use organic
- 4 cups chicken stock or vegetable broth, good quality
- 2 bay leaf
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme or 1/4 teaspoon ground thyme, dried leaves
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1/2-1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, melt butter. Chop onions, potatoes and carrots into large chunks.
- Saute in hot butter 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Increase heat to high and pour in chicken stock with seasonings.
- Bring to boil, reduce heat to simmer and cover. Cook 20-30 minutes or until all veggies are soft. (This time will depend on how large your vegetable chunks were!) Once everything is tender, remove bay leaves and puree soup using a blender or immersion blender.
- Stir in cream and more seasonings, if desired. Keep warm over low heat until ready to serve.
- Serve with black pepper and fresh parsley for garnish, if desired.

Notes
- I just like a hint of thyme in this recipe, so try it out as is and then adjust it to your liking!
