Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 carrots 2 carrots (about 16.1 ounces or 457 grams) Choose bright, firm carrots for the best sweetness.
  • 2 onions 2 onions (about 9.3 ounces or 263 grams) Sweet onions work beautifully, enhancing the overall flavor.
  • 1 potato 1 potato (about 7.2 ounces or 203 grams) Yellow potatoes are preferred for their creaminess.
  • 3 cloves 3 cloves garlic Fresh is best! You can roast it for a richer, roasted flavor.
  • 1 cup 1 cup water Use filtered water for a cleaner taste.
  • 2.5 cups 2 1/2 cups chicken stock For a vegetarian version, substitute with vegetable broth.
  • 1 teaspoon 1 teaspoon salt Adjust this based on your broth's sodium level.
  • 1 teaspoon 1 teaspoon ground pepper Freshly cracked is ideal for more potent flavor.
  • 0.25 cup 1/4 cup heavy cream For an extra touch of richness; half-and-half or coconut cream can be used.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Peel the carrots, onions, potato, and garlic.
  2. Chop the carrots, onions, and potato into uniform 1-inch chunks.
Cooking
  1. In a large pot, warm the water and chicken stock over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped vegetables and garlic to the pot and stir gently.
  3. Simmer for approximately 40 minutes, or until the veggies are soft, stirring occasionally.
  4. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste once soft.
  5. Turn off the heat and puree the soup until velvety smooth using a hand blender.
  6. Portion the soup into bowls and drizzle heavy cream in a spiral on top to create a spiderweb design.

Notes

For richer flavor, let the soup simmer longer, and if it's too thick, stir in additional stock or water. Great served with crusty bread or topped with toasted pumpkin seeds.
