Carrot Soup with Tomatillo Relish

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups chopped onions
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 cups thinly sliced peeled carrots (about 10; 1 3/4 lb. total)
  • 2 Yukon Gold potatoes (12 oz. total), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
  • 1 1/2 quarts fat-skimmed low-sodium chicken broth
  • Salt
  • Roasted tomatillo relish

Preparation

Step 1

In a 5- to 6-quart pan over medium heat, stir onions often in olive oil until limp, about 10 minutes.

Stir in carrots and potatoes. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil over high heat. Cover pan, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until potatoes and carrots are tender when pierced, about 20 minutes.

Working in small batches, transfer soup to a blender or food processor and whirl until smooth. Pour into a large bowl.

Return the soup to the pan and stir often over medium heat until hot. Add salt to taste. Ladle into bowls and top each serving with a dollop of roasted tomatillo relish.
