This Creamy Carrot Soup is simplicity at its finest. A ridiculously easy, thick and creamy soup that is made with carrots, onions and potatoes. It's the perfect comforting soup for Fall.

Ingredients

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!
