We tore out our front yard garden this past weekend. It is getting very hot, very quickly, and the front yard was beginning to look like a mess. Rather than try to baby anything through the summer out there, I decided to rip it out and focus on the backyard.
Back when I started the garden, I planted a few carrots. We harvested them when we were ripping out the garden and yesterday we decided to make carrot soup.
I had some great help cleaning them and getting them ready for the soup.
Here’s the recipe we used.
Ingredients:
3 tbsp butter
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 cans broth (or 3 1/2 cups homemade)
2 lbs of peeled carrots, cut into 1 in chunks
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Milk or Cream, optional
Directions:
1. Melt butter and cook onion until transparent.
2. Add salt and curry powder. Stir to combine.
3. Add carrots and broth. Cook for about 20-25 minutes until carrots are very tender.
4. Once carrots are tender, puree everything in a blender. (Use caution when blending hot liquids.)
5. Add lemon juice.
6. This soup tends to be very thick. If you prefer a thinner soup, add more broth, water, or some milk/cream to thin it out.
