Carrot and potato potage is a delicious and comforting soup that's perfect for a cozy meal. This recipe combines the earthy flavors of carrots, potatoes, and onions with a rich vegetable broth to create a hearty and satisfying dish. It's easy to make and is sure to become a family favorite.

Ingredients:

3.50 cups carrots
450g
3 cups potatoes
450g
1.25 cups onion
200g
1 tbsp butter
14g
4 cups vegetable broth
960g
1 tsp salt
6g
1 tsp black pepper
2.10g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Start by peeling and roughly chopping the carrots. Set them aside.
- Peel and dice the potatoes. Set them aside with the carrots.
- Finely chop the onion.
2. Sauté the Onions:
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Once the butter is melted and sizzling, add the chopped onions.
- Sauté the onions for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are translucent and fragrant.
3. Add the Carrots and Potatoes:
- Add the chopped carrots and diced potatoes to the pot.
- Stir to combine the vegetables with the onions and butter.
4. Add Broth and Seasonings:
- Pour in the vegetable broth.
- Add the salt and black pepper.
- Stir everything together to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
5. Cook the Soup:
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer.
- Cover the pot and cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots and potatoes are tender.
6. Blend the Soup:
- Once the vegetables are tender, remove the pot from the heat.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot until it is smooth and creamy. If you don't have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender and puree until smooth. Return the pureed soup to the pot.
7. Adjust Seasoning:
- Taste the potage and adjust the seasoning if needed by adding more salt or pepper to your preference.
8. Serve:
- Ladle the hot potage into bowls.
- Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, or a dollop of cream.
9. Enjoy:
- Serve your delicious carrot and potato potage with a side of crusty bread or a light salad.

Tips:

- Choose fresh and high-quality vegetables.: For the best flavor, use fresh carrots, potatoes, and onions. Organic vegetables can provide even more vibrant flavors.

- Cut vegetables evenly.: Chop the carrots, potatoes, and onions into similar-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and a smooth texture in the potage.

- Use a blender for a creamy texture.: After cooking the soup, blending it will give it a silky and creamy consistency. An immersion blender is convenient, but a regular blender works just as well. Just be cautious with hot liquids.

- Adjust seasoning to taste.: After blending, taste the soup and adjust the salt and pepper to your preference. You can also add other seasonings like a pinch of cayenne pepper for some heat or a sprinkle of nutmeg for warmth.

- Garnish creatively.: Dress up your potage with garnishes like a swirl of cream, fresh herbs like parsley or chives, or crunchy croutons for added texture.

- Prepare in advance.: This soup stores well in the fridge. Make a big batch and enjoy it over several days; the flavors often improve with time.

This carrot and potato potage is a simple yet flavorful soup that will warm you up from the inside out. With its smooth and creamy texture, it's perfect for enjoying any time of the year. Serve it with a side of crusty bread for a complete meal that everyone will love.
