How To Make cream of carrot soup

Step 1

Cook carrots with butter, sugar, thyme and potatoes in a 4 quart pot over medium heat until carrots soften, about 10 minutes. Add broth and bring to a simmer. Simmer soup until potatoes can be crushed with spoon, about 15 minutes.

Step 2

Cool soup slightly. Working in small batches, transfer soup to blender or food processor. Puree until smooth. Return mixture to soup pot and whisk in cream and wine. Add salt and pepper. Return to heat and bring back to simmer. Remove from heat.
