Ingredients
2 Tbs. olive oil
1 large yellow onion, sliced
2 lb. carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch (12-mm) rounds
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp. chopped fresh thyme, plus leaves for garnish
6 cups (48 fl. oz./1.5 l) vegetable or chicken stock, plus more as
needed
Crème fraîche for serving
Directions
In a stockpot over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the garlic and chopped thyme and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the 6 cups stock, increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until the carrots are tender, about 20 minutes.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Add more stock if needed to reach the desired consistency. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
Ladle the soup into warmed bowls. Top with crème fraîche and thyme leaves and serve immediately. Serves 4 to 6.

Absolutely DeliciousThis soup is so simple to make and unbelievably tasty. Adding the crėme fraiche balances the sweetness of the carrot. Loved every drop and cannot wait to make again. Yum!

Delicious and healthyI made this alongside the panini sandwich it suggests and the combination lead to a delicious dinner. The leftovers were also delicious. I also dipped sweet potato crackers into the soup which was healthy and delicious.

Quick and excellentI used organic baby carrots for this soup. it is very easy to prepare. When it was done cooking, I put it in the Vitamix in batches to puree it and that made it so smooth it was like cream of carrot soup but without the milk or cream. Husband loved it, too. Am making it again tonight. Would go excellent with fresh crusty bread.
