Step by step instruction of cooking French carrot soup

Шаг 1

The carrots in this soup are the dominant component. And it is very important to choose for this recipe the best and tastiest carrot.
Our goal is soup, in this form of cutting does not matter. See how it looks on the video.
The second component potatoes. Here it is roughly one-quarter of the number of carrots.
And the last main component of carrot soup - onion.

Шаг 2

A knob of butter to once again remind you that we are preparing a dish that is French cuisine. Add to oil chopped onion and make the onion on low heat for 4 minutes. When he will begin to gold, add the prepared carrots. Gently stir the mixture. Soon, you will see how oil will turn a nice yellow color.
Now is the time to add potatoes, salt and thyme.
And now attention. This soup uses broth!
The soup looks delicious with plain boiled water. No broth. I'm sure this fact will appeal to many, as the soup will be ready in 30 minutes as you returned from the store.
All that is now needed to monitor the process and stir every 5 minutes.
Garnish for soup. Crisp toast, or as they are called in French- the croutons. Look at the video.
Warm up olive oil with butter. Slices of baguette, or loaf saute on very low heat. It will not only toast the bread on the outside, but dry inside, making croutons will become crispy maximum.
Meanwhile, the vegetables in the soup actively secrete starch. The soup was very thick but not yet ready. Wait for the moment when the potatoes and carrots will break apart under the spoon without effort.

Шаг 3

Once the vegetables are cooked you can start grinding. For this fit, both immersed and stationary blender.
The state of good mashed potatoes, it will take about two minutes. Through a sieve to wipe makes no sense, as the blender grinds very finely.
I agree, looks like baby food. All those colored puree of the small jars. But saying
"all best - to children" is perfectly fair. This soup is of the highest standard!
But it's not yet final.

Шаг 4

In the original French recipe for the integrity of flavor is added creme fraiche. It's similar to sour cream, French milk product with a fat content of not more than 30 percent.
I will use our traditional sour cream. Look at what happens in the video.
Now the soup reaches a balance of three flavors. Sweet due to the carrots, salty due to the added salt, and sour due to the sour cream. Per litre of the soup I added about 100 grams. For the light version of this soup, it is quite suitable and unsweetened yogurt.

Шаг 5

I would compare this soup with a parachute jump. With the stage when the parachute is already opened, fear behind, and you simply soar in the sky. Experience that simply cannot be experienced in everyday life. Ease... grace... lightness... freshness... the delight...
