Chilled Carrot & Beets Soup

 It was another 106°f day here yesterday, and I just could not bring myself to cook anything, as our AC went out. So, I pulled out the chilled soup recipes! This turned out soo good.. served with grilled cheese sandwiches!

Ingredients:

2 lbs carrots, chopped

1 large white onion, diced

2 tbsps butter

1 bunch of beets

1 tbsp thyme

1 tbsp sage

1 tbsp rosemary

2 cloves garlic

black pepper to taste

4 cups broth

1/2 cup heavy cream

Dice the onions and toss them in a large pot with the butter. Cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the chopped carrots, beets, herbs, and garlic. Saute for 5 minutes, then add the broth. Simmer for 25 minutes. Add the cream, and let it cool. Once cooled, pour into a blender, and blend until smooth. Chill, and serve!
