Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 5 minutes.
-
Add the chopped carrots and diced potato to the pot, stirring to combine with the onions and garlic. Cook for another 5 minutes to allow the vegetables to soften slightly.
-
Pour in the vegetable broth, cumin, and dried thyme. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots and potatoes are tender.
-
Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, carefully puree the soup until smooth and creamy.
-
Stir in the heavy cream and season the bisque with salt and pepper to taste. Allow it to simmer for an additional 5 minutes to warm through and blend the flavors together.
-
Ladle the Carrot Bisque into bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
