This month on the 5 Star Foodie Makeover, hosted by Lazaro of Lazaro Cooks! and Natasha of 5 Star Foodie is Chilled soup.
This is a such and easy soup to make, but packed with flavor.
Ingredients:
1/4 stick of butter
2 shallots, chopped
3 large carrots, cut into one inch pieces
3 medium size sweet potatoes, cut into one inch squares
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
white pepper and salt to taste
64 ounces of chicken stock
Instructions:
Melt the butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the chopped shallots and sauté for about 5 minutes.
Add carrots, sweet potatoes, chicken stock, salt, pepper and nutmeg then bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered until carrots and sweet potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.
Working in batches, purée soup in blender until smooth.
Chill soup. Before serving you can add yogurt or as I did left over lobster, chives and basil flowers.
Thanks again for letting me be part of this great group.

Yummy! This looks really lovely and delicious.
The carrots in my garden so far are little fronds but can’t wait to try some tasty, creamy soups!
sounds fabulous, the combination of carrots and sweet potatoes is one of my favorites!! yum 🙂
I love everything here. Sometimes I just crave carrots. Never thought of sweet potato combo. Love it all.
It’s time to make cold soups, This sounds amazing!
I love it Norma, i’ve never made or had a chilled soup! I will have to give it a try soon, it would be perfect or the persistent Nigerian heat! See you tomorrow
This looks so lusciously rich…I love the combination of ingredients and the fact that it is so simple to make.
A fantastic soup! Beautiful and really tempting.
Cheers,

I think it’s brilliant to use the fall veggies in the chilled soup – that’s a concept of makeover at its best! Love it!
Can I say how much I love the presentation? That blue glass is perfect for the soup. One of my favorites for anytime of year is a spicy carrot. Never thought of adding sweet potatoes and I am hitting my head going DUH when I see this recipe. Love the basil flowers and lobster addition too. Great dish!
This is very elegant. Such a beautiful color, and I love the garnishes. The flowers are so pretty, and that big hunk of lobster claw is calling to me!
So very beautiful! Vibrant and bright! Love these flavors too 🙂
Buttery, creamy and sweet, such a flavorful soup and the fact that it’s cold and not hot makes it perfect for warm weather days. I think your garnish is beautiful in its simplicity, just love it!
Beautiful soup, Norma! Rica para el verano! Love the color and the presentation!
I have thought about carrot too haha! Your version sounds delicious and I love the combination of carrot and sweet potato!
