Directions
- 1Cut half an onion into pieces and prepare one large garlic or two small ones.
- 2Peel and cut 6 large carrots (550-600g) into thin pieces and set aside.

- 6Add two cups of chicken broth (or water with consommé) and season with 1/4 teaspoon of pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- 7Stir well, cover the pot, lower the heat to medium-low, and cook for about 20-25 minutes until the carrot is very soft.
- 8Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool for about 20 to 30 minutes before blending.
