Smoky adobo sauce gives this creamy soup a subtle touch of heat. Ingredients:
1 (7-oz.) can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce |
1 small sweet onion, chopped |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 (32-oz.) container low-sodium fat-free chicken broth |
1 (16-oz.) package baby carrots |
1/3 cup half-and-half |
1 teaspoon salt |
toppings: chopped fresh chives, chopped dried chile peppers, reduced-fat sour cream |
Directions:
1. Remove 2 tsp. adobo sauce from can; reserve peppers and remaining sauce for another use.
2. Sauté onion in hot oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat 3 to 4 minutes or until tender. Stir in broth, carrots, and 2 tsp. adobo sauce; cover, increase heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer, partially covered, 15 to 20 minutes or until carrots are tender. Remove from heat, and let cool 10 minutes.
3. Process carrot mixture in a blender or food processor 1 minute or until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides as needed. Return carrot mixture to Dutch oven. Stir in half-and-half and salt. Cook over low heat 2 to 4 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Serve with desired toppings.
