Ingredients
For the soup:
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large onion roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons pesto
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 4 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 2 ounce cans fire-roasted canned tomatoes
- 8 ounces baby carrots or four average size carrots, peeled and roughly chopped
- 1 large potato 10-12 ounces
- ¼ cup fresh basil leaves packed
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1-1½ teaspoons kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
To finish:
- ½ cup Greek yogurt I use Fage whole milk yogurt
- 1 tablespoon pesto
- additional fresh basil leaves for garnish, if desired
- shaved Parmesan cheese for garnish, if desired
- pine nuts for garnish, if desired
Instructions
- In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, combine the butter and the oil over medium-low heat. When the butter is melted and bubbly add the onion, pesto and Italian seasoning. Cook 4-5 minutes until the onion is soft and the mixture is very fragrant.
- Add the chicken stock, tomatoes, carrots, potato, basil, brown sugar, baking soda, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and pepper. Bring to a boil then cover and reduce to a steady simmer. Cook for 20-25 minutes or until the carrots are very tender.
- Add the Greek yogurt and the additional tablespoon of pesto. Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, puree the soup until nice and smooth. If using a regular blender wait for the soup to cool a bit. Then blend with the middle cap of the blender top off and several layers of paper towel or a clean kitchen towel over the opening to prevent splash back. You can also use a small funnel over the opening. The idea is to let some of the steam escape so there’s not an explosion from steam build-up in the blender.
- Taste and add more seasoning, if needed. Serve with, freshly ground black pepper, shaved Parmesan cheese, toasted pine nuts and fresh basil leaves for garnish, if desired.
