There was a note in "All Things Mexican" today about this soup. I had forgotten about this recipe! I pulled out my cookbook and proceeded to do some editing. What a fantastic soup it turned out to be! Since it is so different from the original I decided to post my version. Thanks for the reminder Bobby W!

How To Make sopa de zanahorria

  • 1
    Put the chopped carrots, chicken granules, sugar, water and cilantro stems in a pot and bring to a boil. Cover. You might need to add a bit more water if it boils dry before the carrots are tender.
  • 2
    In another pot, melt the butter and saute the onion until tender. Add basil, tarragon, cumin and ginger. Then add your flour of choice. Stir until bubbly.
  • 3
    Add the half and half to the pot and bring to a simmer. Add the Ricotta and stir until smooth and thickened.
  • 4
    Dump the cooked carrots into the pot and heat a bit. Use an immersion blender and blend it all up good! (you can also put it into a conventional blender)
  • 5
    Add salt, pepper and ancho pepper to taste. Serve with chopped cilantro on top.
