Preparation time:

Total time:
40 minutes
Makes:
4 servings

Ingredients

900-ml chicken broth carton
1 kg baby carrots
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp Dijon mustard, preferably grainy
2 tsp dried thyme leaves
1 cup sour cream, divided

Directions

Place broth, carrots, maple syrup, Dijon and thyme in a large pot. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium. Cover and gently boil, stirring occasionally, until carrots are very tender, about 30 min.
Purée mixture. Return soup to pot and heat over low. If soup is thick, add up to 1 cup water or chicken broth to reach desired consistency.
When soup is hot, stir in ½ cup sour cream. Taste and season soup. Serve with remaining sour cream or plain yogurt; chopped bacon or green onions and toasted nuts or seeds for garnish; and toast soldiers, grilled cheese or crackers for dipping.
Tip
Make this soup the night before, and then all you’ll have to do is heat it up and make toast!
