Split carrot soup


I started the split carrot soup yesterday, let it rest in the refrigerator overnight, and finished making it today. It's really easy.

For about 12 servings:

  • Put 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts in a big pot on the stovetop and cover with plenty of water. Add poultry seasoning to taste. Also add a little olive oil.
  • Add 2 pounds of baby carrots to the chicken and water.
  • Start simmering.
  • Simmer until the ingredients are cooked thoroughly.

  • Cover and house in the refrigerator overnight.

  • The next day remove the chicken meat from the soup. Reserve a few cooked carrots. Blend the cooked carrots and broth.

  • Cut the chicken breasts into bite-size pieces.

  • Dice and saute half a yellow onion.

  • Combine the blended carrots, the reserved carrots, the sauteed onion, and the cooked chicken pieces in the big pot again. Add more poultry seasoning and a little salt, if you like.

  • Cook thoroughly -- about 30 or 40 minutes.

  • Serve warm with garlic bread and milk.
