This may be the perfect soup.
A friend of my mom’s has had this recipe in her family for like 100 years and won’t share it with anyone. Esoteric ideas about gatekeeping something like a recipe is so weird, right? Anyway, the soup typically comes along when someone dies or something bad happens, cause that’s when you bring people soup.
My mom’s partner passed away in fall of 2020 and she received the soup, as one does while grieving. The recipe was asked for and denied. My mom, being a chef, decided to reverse engineer it. She then sent the recipe to her friend and apparently it was identical. My mom rules.
Here’s the recipe (from my mom!):
Chop & sauté an onion, a carrot & a celery stalk till softened. Blend in 2T dried rosemary. Add 2/3 lb Italian sausage & brown. Add 4T tomato paste & 3-4 minced garlic cloves. When garlic is fragrant add 4 cups chicken broth, 2 cans white beans, 4 cups kale. Simmer 30 mins or so. Season to taste w/ salt & pepper. Add splash of balsamic & some parm & croutons to serve

Petition for soup to be eaten (slurped?) no matter the temp! Carrots somewhat defy seasonality and can be found in the store year-round. This recipe makes a big batch that can be portioned and frozen for later 👩🏻🌾
Jenna Rainey’s (@jennarainney on instagram) Carrot Soup Recipe:
Peel and chop 2ish lbs of carrots
Dice one medium sized yellow onion and throw in a pot (I use an instant pot, you can use a regular pot too) with 2-3 Tbsp of grassfed BUTTAH and a dash of extra virgin olive oil, saute til translucent (about
30 seconds)
Throw in 2-3 minced cloves of garlic for a few seconds
Add in the carrots and about 24oz
of beef bone broth I like
@bonafideprovisions or homemade
Add salt and pepper and thyme (I usually do fresh) and a little more garlic powder
Throw the lid on your pot and cook til soft and tender (I do manual high pressure cook for 4 mins with a slow pressure release for 10mins in the instant pot)
Blend with an immersion blender (or a regular blender, just make sure it's cooled down first)
Voilà!

My flatmate made a version for me once when my wisdom tooth was taken out, and I was surprised at how easy and versatile this veg was. I tend to start mine with a base of onions and garlic, and then some spices (turmeric, ginger powder, generic curry powder) before I throw the squash in with chicken stock. It's my favourite lazy soup these days.

It’s by Kazuo Ishiguro. I love the style of writing. It’s sensitive and exciting and relatable. I also enjoy the philosophy behind the story that unfolds. And of course, the way it unfolds!
