Cream of Carrot Soup

I must be on a carrot jag this month. Earlier this month I offered a recipe for carrot fries. Now we are on to carrot soup. This is one of those recipes that you might be tempted to turn away from. Don't! This soup is so good and so chalked full of nutrients.To make this soup, you will need;

2 onions, chopped
5 stalks celery, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2-lb bag of baby carrots
2 15-oz cans vegetable or chicken broth
3 large potatoes, diced into cubes
1 pint plain nonfat yogurt
8 oz. soft (silken) tofu
Nonfat sour cream and chopped cilantro for garnish

In a large nonstick soup pot, sautee onions, celery and garlic for 3 to 5 minutes over medium-high heat. Add carrots and broth and simmer 15 minutes. Add potatoes. Lower heat to medium-low and cook 15 to 30 minutes until soft. Remove from heat and add yogurt and tofu. Puree with a hand-held mixer. Serve with low-fat sour cream sprinkled with cilantro, if desired.
