Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, chopped yellow onion
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 6 large, peeled and chopped carrots
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 medium, peeled and diced potato
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh dill
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped yellow onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the chopped carrots, diced potato, vegetable broth, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the soup simmer for 20 minutes, or until the carrots and potato are tender.

Step 6

Remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can carefully blend the soup in batches using a countertop blender.

Step 7

Return the pot to low heat, stir in the heavy cream, chopped fresh dill, and lemon juice. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 8

Simmer the soup for 5 minutes to let the flavors meld together, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with a sprig of fresh dill or a drizzle of cream, if desired. Serve hot.
