Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the margarine over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-10 minutes.

02

Step

Add the shredded carrots and cubed potatoes to the pot. Pour in the water, then season with dried parsley, salt, dried thyme, and bay leaf.

03

Step

Bring the soup to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Be sure to remove the bay leaf after simmering.

04

Step

Carefully purée the soup using an immersion blender until smooth. Alternatively, purée in batches in a regular blender, ensuring to vent the lid to release steam.

05

Step

Return the puréed soup to the pot. Stir in the milk, mixing well to combine. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

For a richer flavor, consider using butter or olive oil instead of margarine.
Feel free to add other root vegetables like parsnips or turnips for added depth.
A splash of heavy cream at the end can elevate the soup's creaminess.
Garnish with a swirl of cream, a sprinkle of fresh parsley, or croutons for an elegant touch.
