  • 2 pieces Onions About 9.3 ounces or 263 grams.
  • 1 piece Potato About 7.2 ounces or 203 grams.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Fragrant and zesty.
  • 1 cup Water Essential for creating the perfect consistency.
  • 2.5 cups Chicken Stock Adds savory depth to the flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by peeling the carrots, onions, potato, and garlic.
  2. Set a pot on medium heat and pour in the water and chicken stock.
  3. Cut the carrots, onions, and potato into chunky pieces, and toss them into the pot along with the garlic.
  4. Let them simmer for about 40 minutes or until the vegetables become tender, stirring occasionally.
Blending and Serving
  1. Once the vegetables are soft, season the soup with salt and pepper, stirring well.
  2. Turn off the heat and carefully puree the soup until it reaches your desired consistency.
  3. Portion the soup into three cups.
  4. Drizzle the heavy cream in a spiral pattern on top of the soup, and draw eight lines from the center to the edge of each cup to create a spiderweb effect.

Notes

To store leftovers, let the soup cool before transferring to an airtight container. It will keep in the fridge for up to a week or freeze in portions for up to three months. Add herbs or roasted red peppers for variations.
