I give up.
This is sooooo good. It was in our paper ages ago (like maybe 20 years), when she was getting anorexic, and her chef made this up to tempt her to eat.
2 pounds carrots, peeled and sliced fairly thin
1 small onion, chopped
2-3 cups mild chicken broth
1 to 2 cups half & half
1 tablespoon butter
Salt, white pepper and mace to sprinkle on top (to taste on all these)
Cook carrots just until tender (10-15 min). In last 5 minutes, add onion. Drain. Put in blender, and puree a minute or so until smooth. Put in pot. Add as much chicken broth as you want, then butter. Heat on low flame. Add cream (as above, what you're comfortable with), salt, white pepper to taste. When in bowls, sprinkle a little mace on top (really optional, but gives a nice flavor too).
(I'm really scrounging through my recipes, huh? Got tons more.)
