Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 lbs carrots, cleaned and cut into chunks
3 1/2 cups chicken stock ( broth)
1 large onion, cut into chunks
2 tsp sugar
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 tsp thyme leaves, stripped off stalks
1 tbsp finely grated lemon rind
1/2 tsp ground cumin
3/4 cup cannellini beans, canned, drained
1 cup fresh cream
salt
1/4 cup very finely chopped parsley
1/2 cup sour cream or 1/2 cup creme fraiche , as a topping

Directions:

In a large pot combine the carrots, stock, onion, sugar, cider vinegar, thyme, lemon rind and cumin, and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat until soup simmers.
Cover and simmer until carrots are tender - about 15 minutes, but test with a long-handled fork.
In a blender or processor, pureé the soup in batches, adding some beans with each batch. Pour the pureé into a large bowl as you work. Pureé the soup until very smooth.
Then pour the soup back into the pot, heat up, and add the cream, stirring. Stir over low heat until heated through.
Add the finely chopped parsley, stir in, and taste: it will need more salt as modern stock granules (if used) are not very salty.
Serve in warmed soup bowls or mugs, and add a dollop of sour cream to each serving.
