Ingredients

4 cups chopped carrots
3 cups fat-free chicken broth
0.5 onion, sliced
water to cover
4 cloves garlic, smashed
1 teaspoon dried thyme
0.5 teaspoon dried tarragon
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Instructions

In a large pot, combine carrots, chicken broth, and onion. Add enough water to cover the ingredients, then include garlic, thyme, and tarragon.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover the pot and simmer until the carrots are very tender, approximately 40 to 50 minutes.
Remove the pot from heat and carefully puree the soup using an immersion blender until it reaches a smooth consistency.
Return the pot to medium heat and cook until thoroughly warmed, about 5 minutes. Stir in cream to complete the soup.
