preparation time: 20 minutes
serves 4 to 6

1 carrot, peeled and finely diced

1 medium onion, finely diced

1 celery stalk, finely diced

2 tablespoons butter

2 cups chicken bouillon

¼ teaspoon thyme

tiny white bread croutons

Mix the carrot, onion and celery and sweat in the butter for about 5 minutes until

tender.  Then add the chicken bouillon and thyme and simmer (lid on) for 5

minutes. Cool and purée in blender or processor.  Heat and serve in demitasse cups with tiny white bread croutons.        

What could be easier?  It’s delicious and serves admirably when you want just a small amount of soup.
