SOUPS: LIZ'S CREAM OF CARROT

While it tastes sinfully creamy, this soup is low in fat and high in nutrients.

By Liz Applegate Ph.D.

PUBLISHED 07/03/2003

Ingredients:

  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 5 stalks celery, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2-lb bag of baby carrots
  • 2 15-oz cans vegetable or chicken broth
  • 3 large potatoes, diced into cubes
  • 1 pint plain nonfat yogurt
  • 8 ozs soft (silken) tofu
  • nonfat sour cream and chopped cilantro (fresh coriander) for garnish
Directions: In a large nonstick soup pot, sauté onions, celery and garlic for 3 to 5 minutes over medium-high heat. Stir in carrots and add the broth. Simmer 15 minutes. Add potatoes, lower heat to medium-low and cook 15 to 30 minutes until soft. Remove from heat and add yogurt and tofu. Puree with a hand-held mixer. Heat through and serve immediately with a dollop of low-fat sour cream sprinkled with cilantro. Serves 8 to 10.
