Creamy Carrot Soup

The sweet butter and the sweet leeks and the sweet carrots… Sweet!

Do not let anything caramelize on the bottom. This is not an earthy, hearty soup. This is a smooth, rich soup.

Yes, there is a lot of butter in the recipe. So don’t eat the whole pot at once. It works out to two teaspoons in a pint, which is a normal portion of soup with an extra bit of sin thrown in.

“But there’s no cream in the Creamy Carrot Soup!” you exclaim. Hush now, and make the recipe.

Equipment: 5qt pot, immersion blender For a lighter version, sweat the onions in 2 tablespoons of olive oil
