Persain Carrot Soup Recipes

PURPLE CARROT SOUP

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat and cook celery, shallot, ginger, and garlic until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add carrots and potatoes; mix to combine. Pour in 3 cups vegetable broth and slowly bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until carrots and potatoes are soft, about 15 minutes.
• Puree soup with an immersion blender until smooth, adding enough remaining broth to reach the desired consistency.
• Garnish with pistachio nuts and sour cream.

PUREED CARROT SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the butter and olive oil in a large, heavy soup pot over medium-low heat and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the carrots and 1/2 teaspoon salt, cover partially and cook for another 10 minutes, stirring often, until the vegetables are tender and fragrant. Add the rice, water or stock, salt (about 1 1/2 teaspoons), and sugar. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 30 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and the soup is fragrant.
• Blend the soup either with a hand blender, in batches in a blender (cover the top with a towel and hold it down to avoid hot splashes), or through a food mill fitted with the fine blade. The rice should no longer be recognizable (it thickens the soup). Return to the pot. Stir and taste. Adjust salt, add a generous amount of freshly ground pepper, and heat through. If the sweetness of the carrots needs a boost, add another pinch of sugar.
• Serve, garnishing each bowl with croutons and a sprinkle of herbs.
