As I was watching the weather forecast, I was once again inspired to bring you a hot, comforting soup recipe. Use this as a delicious nutritious side dish, or as a meal.




















Ingredients:
1 – 7 oz can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
1 small sweet onion, chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
1- 32 oz can/carton chicken stock
1- 16 oz package baby carrots
1/3 cup half-and-half
Salt to taste
Optional toppings: chopped fresh chives, chopped dried chili peppers, low fat sour cream

Preparation 
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 (I use my immersion hand wand right in the pot) 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.
