Before you start

A blender or food processor will be very useful to purée the soup.

Method

  1. Prepare the carrots and onions. Peel and cut into 3 cm pieces.
  2. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the carrots and onions and cook 5 min, with occasional stirring. Add the broth and milk, bring to a boil, then lower the heat. Cover and simmer about 15 min, until the vegetables are soft. Purée in a blender until smooth. Add the chopped mint, Tabasco sauce, salt, and pepper.
  3. Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish each with a dollop of yogurt and fresh mint leaves, then serve.

Observations

The soup keeps up to 7 days in the refrigerator or up to 4 months in the freezer.
