Velouté de carottes

The last time I tried this "velouté de carottes", I tried making it with coconut milk. Unfortunately the milk we had at home didn’t work well with this recipe. My wife and I didn’t like it much. But I’m going to experiment with this again later until I find a milk that works well.

So if you’re feeling adventourous, give it a shot with your own kind of milk. Maybe it will turn out better !

Time: 25 minutes

4 servings

About 5 to 10 carrots (depends on the size)
3 branchs of coriander
Half cup of coconut milk (The taste will depend on your coconut milk, if you re not sure, you just can add 2 tbsp of crème fraîche or cottage cheese in your blender at the end)
1 tsp of cumin (if you choose not to add coconut milk)
Salt and pepper

1) Chop your carrots into thin slices, as you see above

2) Put into a pan with 2 cups of water and your chicken stock and cover.


















3) When your carrots are tender (usually after 15 to 20 minutes) put them into a blender with your cilantro. Add the chicken broth until you have the mixture you like, and a tbsp of crème fraîche at the end for the « velouté ».
Salt and pepper

4) Serve imediately in a glass or small bowl. It’s a starter soup.
