Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 6 cups carrots, peeled and sliced
• 5 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 sprig fresh dill, for garnish

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped yellow onion and cook for 3–4 minutes, or until softened and translucent.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the peeled and sliced carrots to the pot, stirring to combine with the onions and garlic.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 6

Lower the heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Cook for 20–25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.

Step 7

Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, let the soup cool slightly and blend it in batches in a countertop blender.

Step 8

Return the pureed soup to low heat and stir in the chopped fresh dill, heavy cream, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Simmer gently for 2–3 minutes to combine flavors.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 10

Serve the soup hot, garnished with a sprig of fresh dill.
