Warm Carrot Cream
Bruuuuu! It is cold here in Pamplona. 🥶
I need a warm cup of soup. 🥣
Today we are cooking the classic French carrot cream recipe, known as Potage Crécy:🥕
Ingredients:
• 1 tablespoon of butter
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 sweet onion, chopped
• 600 grams of carrots, peeled and sliced
• 100 grams of rice
• 1.2 liters of water or broth
For garnish:
• A bit of heavy cream
• Olive oil
• Fresh cilantro
Instructions:
1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
2. Add the sliced carrots to the pot and cook for an additional 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Pour in the water or broth and add the rice. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 25 minutes, or until the carrots and rice are tender.
4. Once cooked, remove the pot from the heat. Using an immersion blender, purée the soup until smooth and creamy. If the soup is too thick, you can add more water or broth to achieve your desired consistency.
5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
6. Serve the soup hot, garnished with a drizzle of heavy cream, a splash of olive oil, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Enjoy your classic French carrot cream soup!
