Carrot and Potato Soup

I first had this delicious soup served by a friend. She made it with love and was kind enough to share the recipe with me. As you know if you've seen some of my previous posts I can't leave a recipe alone. So here's Christine's Carrot and Potato Soup with my adaptations.

Ingredients:
2 tbsps butter or organic coconut oil
2 onions, diced
1 or 2 garlic cloves, minced
5 carrots, unpeeled sliced or diced
2 potatoes, diced
1 sweet potato, diced
5 cups chicken broth
1/4 tsp pepper
2 pinches of thyme
Dash of salt (if broth is unsalted)
Bay leaf
3/4 cup 10% cream

Heat butter or coconut oil in a large pot. Add onions and garlic cooking just until fragrant. Add the carrots, potatoes and sweet potato. Cook a few minutes until onions are soft.

Pour in the broth and stir in the seasonings. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer about 10 minutes or until vegetables are soft.

Remove the bay leaf and blend the soup and veggies in a food processor in batches.

Once it's smooth return it to the stove and add the cream.

Heat through and serve immediately
