Varuna Baghvan (Rain God) is at his best in many places. As a child I loved rain, but as a mother I feel like humming my son’s favorite rhymes “Rain Rain go away”. It’s gloomy all day and feel like enjoying something hot all day and eating some crispy baked snack. Jump to Recipe I can’t say no for snacks any day, but a warm soup with pepper pleases says hubby. This soup is almost a year old post. Last winter when it was snowing in Arkansas, hubby asked for a soup.
Those days my son loves soup for lunch, broccoli and spinach soup was his favorite. I saw my fridge, carrots smiled at me and asked why not me. Healthy and colorful main ingredient is checked. Usually I go for potatoes or avocado for thickness but this time celery joined the club. With mild sweetness from carrots this soup will become kids’ favorite. It is healthy, tasty and quick, is there a reason to stop from trying it 🙂 color of the soup also use to attract him during those days
Ingredients: Carrots - 3, big - peeled and cut into medium chunks Onion - 1/2, medium, roughly chopped Celary - 3 stalk Garlic - 1, clove Water - 2 cups Butter - 1/2 tbsp Black pepper - to taste Kosher Salt - as needed Heavy whipping cream - 3 tbsp Method:
Add butter to the pan, and when its hot add garlic, sauté till it is golden brown Add onion, carrots and celeary and sauté for 2 -3 minutes in low flame. Add 3/4 th cup water and cover with lid Cook till the carrots are fork tender, sauteing the vegetables occasionally; switch off. Let it come to room temperature Put the mixture in a mixie/ blender along with little vegetable stock ( I used the vegetable cooked water) and puree them to a smooth texture. Keep the remaining vegetable stock in the pan
Transfer the puree and add water according to the preferred consistency into the same pan containing vegetable stock; mix well and cook for 5 minutes. Add salt, pepper and cream. Cook in low heat for 2-3 minutes to avoid curdling. Switch off and enjoy warm soup for hot weather
