This is a light soup that won't weigh you down, but you'll still feel full and satisfied after a bowl. For there being minimal ingredients, it's packed full not only in flavor, but in nutrients also. Like with most Golden Blossom Honey recipes, this is another that doesn't take a lot of prep or cook time. I actually made the first half the night before, then added the milk and reheated the following day for lunch. So this is a great make-ahead meal if you know you're going to be short on time the following day. While this recipe is written to eat the soup warm, I ate a bowl cold, fresh out of the fridge and found that I enjoyed it equally, so it will transition perfectly into the summer months for those who love a cold soup as well.
Ingredients
1 bunch of carrots, about 1 pound
1 baking potato
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup chopped shallots
4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
2 tablespoons GOLDEN BLOSSOM HONEY
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
black pepper to taste
Garnish
plain yogurt or sour cream
chopped scallions or chives

What a lovely spring soup. I love carrot soup and this sounds like a winner- easy and tasty.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Judee!
DeleteOur hyacinths are already gone, second series of daffodils is blooming and two red tulips, the early ones. I do love carrots, ate carrot soup for dindins last night because I made carrot mash for lunch, so the water was used for soup at dinner time. Scallions and radishes have gone 100% up at the green market, so we won't be eating much of those this year, unless I go to the supermarkets where they are cheaper. But it is difficult going more than once a week since it is a half hour walk.
ReplyDeleteEverything seems to be on a delay this spring. I did notice a few buds starting on my hydrangea bush today, so at least I feel like warmer days are soon coming. Did you lose a lot of your flowers during your cold snap recently?
DeleteI guess I’ve never made soup in the Spring? I recently had a tomato soup as an amuse bouche at a fancy restaurant and it was delicious. It was served in a tall shot glass and made me want to always drink soups like that (along with your carrot soup).
ReplyDeleteSoup from a shot glass you say? That does sound fancy!
DeleteThat sounds really good. I love Split Pea soup.
ReplyDeleteSplit Pea is delish!
DeleteGracias por al receta. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteThank you, J.P.!
DeleteGood can be eaten cold just as well as hot indeed. More than a nip in the air here as the snow is currently falling outside.
ReplyDeleteIt snowed here yesterday. I was not a happy camper.
DeleteI LOVE carrot soup, and make it often, but never with potato. I'll be trying your recipe.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Pattie!
DeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteI love soups, I like warm comfort food, a warm soup even warms your heart! This soup looks really good and I think I'll make it for myself! Have a nice weekend!
Soups are the ultimate comfort food! Thanks for stopping by Marisa!
DeleteMy son just whipped up a great squash soup for me. I'm going to share this and ask him to give it a try next time. He loves any veggie and most soups, and he loves to cook for family! Also, yes, hurrah for the sun hanging around longer.
ReplyDeleteSquash soup isn't something I've ever made, surprisingly. I'll have to give that a try soon. Sounds delish!
DeleteI would never thought of putting honey in a carrot soup, but in the context of this recipe it really makes sense. I used to love carrot soup but have totally forget about it. Thank you for reminding me. I'll try it!
ReplyDeleteI hope you do give it a try! Thanks for stopping in!
DeleteYummy soup :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThis soup looks creamy, delicious, and filling. Where I live, there are a variety of soups, but none are quite like this one. Thanks for sharing the recipe with us.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteLooks absolutely amazing.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI've never had carrot soup. But, this looks yummy.
