creamy carrot soup during the week (recipe from Hungry Girl)

CREAMY CARROT SOUP

You will need:
4 cups chopped carrots
1 large onion, chopped
1 medium potato (about 7 oz.), peeled and cubed
2 cups fat-free chicken broth
1/4 tsp. salt, or more to taste
1/4 tsp. black pepper, or more to taste (I like less, much less.)
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 cup Unsweetened Original Almond Breeze

Directions:
Bring a large nonstick pot to medium-high heat on the stove. Add carrots, onion, and potato. Cook and stir until tender, about 10 minutes.

Add broth and seasonings and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until veggies are soft, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Carefully transfer contents of the pot to a blender. Add Almond Breeze and puree until smooth. (Or if you're like me and can't find all of your blender parts, you can use other mixing aids like a Bullet and blend in shifts!)

If needed, return soup to the pot and bring to desired temperature on the stove.
